A radio programme called China girl was aired on BBC Radio 4 today, covering the stories of various different prospective adopters as they go through the UK process to adopt from China. The producer is Emily Buchanan, herself the adoptive mum of two little ones from China and the author of a book about her experiences adopting them (From China With Love, The Long Road to Motherhood). The second part of the programme will be aired next week. The programme gives a realistic insight into the trials and tribulations that prospective UK overseas adopters go through and is well worth a listen.
Both programmes are available online using the Listen Again feature for a week after the broadcast.
