Bay Area Adoptees Return From China
Journey Of Personal Discovery
Since the 1990's some 50,000 orphaned girls and boys have been adopted by American parents. Bay Area Adoption Services out of Mountain View was among the earliest agencies to find homes for many of theses children right here in the Bay Area.
Play a game of cards in the Hanschen house and what you'll discover is the kind of loving playfulness that mothers' relish. It's a connection this family is about to deepen with a trip to another continent and another life for two young girls.
Brenda Hanschen, Mother: "We always tell the girls they were loved, that their parents wanted them to be found so that they would be happy and find a home."
Home is Orinda, but both 10-year-old Quinn and eleven-year-old Chloe were born in China, strangers until Brenda Hanschen and her husband Peter turned them into sisters. They adopted three-and-a-half month-old Chloe from an orphanage in Changsha; two and-a-half-years-later Quinn from Chengdu.
