In a recent article, Scott Simon expressed his gratitude for the adoption of his daughters from China. He is forever indebted to China for his daughters, but is keenly aware of the fear Chinese mothers face due to government policies that lead to the abandonment and/or otherwise bleak fate of many baby girls in that country.
Had Simon's daughters grown up in China they may have faced discrimination if they belonged to any of China's ethnic minorities. Likewise, Ethiopian and Kenyan minority ethnic children face discrimination growing up in their countries.
