For years China’s one-child policy meant that many pregnancies were terminated. For many having a second child was illegal and local community leaders could force women to have abortions. However, some people did break the law and had second children. But most couldn’t keep them and many had to abandon their babies, often in public places so that someone would find them. Many of those babies were adopted by people in the West. Kati was one of them. She was adopted by an American couple. This is her story and also the story of both of her sets of parents – adoptive and biological. Two decades after her Chinese parents abandoned her, Kati goes on a journey to meet them for the first time.
