Jack and Anne Ahern were in the civil affairs office in Changsha, the capitol of the Hunan province of China, with their 12-year-old daughter Ruby. On this chilly, overcast early December day, the family was anxiously awaiting the arrival of the child they were adopting, a tiny, very sick little girl they had decided to name Harper Jade. They had adopted Ruby from China as well, though she was from a small town in the Guangdong province. They had gotten Ruby just before her first birthday and had meant to adopt again while Ruby was young, but life got in the way. Now, though, after several promotions, Jack was pulling in a high six-figure salary. He strictly worked 9-5, Monday through Friday, and Anne was able to quit her job. They had a nice house in a good neighborhood, with a prestigious private school nearby that Ruby attended and finally felt ready to add a second child to the family.

Jack and Anne Wilson glanced at each other nervously just before entering the Civil Affairs office where they would soon meet the little girl who would make them a family of four. Four years ago, in that same building, they had become first-time parents when little Ruby, then just a year old, was placed in their arms. Now they were back in China to bring home the precious, but so very sick, three-year-old they had decided to name Harper.
