註釋Biology is only one way of being related.This deep realization of familial love that transcends convention, genetics and race is the underlying tenet of this book.From her days as a newlywed, traveling abroad with husband Ian, the story traces the winding path to motherhood of Amanda Harvey. Throughout tales of life in Europe and Asia, Harvey finds that the blossoming of an ever strengthening maternal urge begins to shape the choices she makes.The narrative follows the couple's journey through two interracial adoptions in Taiwan. The excitement and utter joy of bringing home their baby daughter, and 18 months later an infant son, as well as the emotional rollercoaster that their lives become in that period.The final chapters find the Harveys in the present day, raising their beautiful Taiwanese children in the children's country of ethnic origin and embarking for a third time on the tumultuous and incredible adventures of parenthood and adoption.
