Growing Girls
“group for people who had adopted or were adopting from the Huazhou Social Welfare Institute in Guangdong province, the orphanage in southern China where Sasha was living. The people at the orphanage knew her by the name they’d assigned to her—Ji Hong Bin—if they knew her at all, but Alex and I had already decided to name her Sasha Marie as soon as we got her home. We picked Sasha because it means “little Alex” in Russian and we loved the sound of it. At first I worried that a Russian name for a... girl of Chinese ancestry would be somehow … crooked. But the truth of the matter was this girl from China was going to be the daughter of a Russian-Lithuanian Jew and a French-Irish-Lithuanian Catholic, so I figured we may as well just go ahead and enjoy the benefits of being a family of mutts, one of which surely must be you aren’t beholden to any particular rules of pedigree.
At that point all we had of Sasha was a little picture, her date of birth, some scant medical information, a brief report about both the day she was found and her subsequent life at the orphanage.MoreLess
