Utah Governor Adopting...Again

Governor to adopt child from India
Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. hoped to bring home something more than new business for the state from next week's trade mission to China — the baby girl he and his wife are adopting in India.

But the governor found out Tuesday that the adoption paperwork for the 10-month-old baby they've already named Asha Bharati won't be completed for at least another month. So he has postponed plans to pick her up until possibly Thanksgiving...

Huntsman had intended to bring along his wife, Mary Kaye, and Gracie Mei, the youngest of their six children, when he leaves for China on Sunday, so they could accompany him to India. Now, though, both will stay behind.

Gracie Mei, 7, was adopted from China by the Huntsmans in 1999. Huntsman said on this trip, he would have taken her back to the vegetable market in a poor Chinese neighborhood where she was abandoned as a baby.
