Jenna Cook created this poster when she left her home in Massachusetts in 2012 to return to Wuhan, China, where she had been abandoned as a baby. She hoped a relative might see the poster. She ended up meeting with 50 families who thought she might be their daughter.
Jenna Cook was born in China and abandoned on a street in the huge city of Wuhan in 1992 when she was just a baby. Cook was adopted by a single American woman, a schoolteacher in Massachusetts, and later co-adopted by her godmother, who is her mother's partner. Cook was accepted at Yale University, and at 20, she decided to go back to Wuhan in search of her birth mother. A local newspaper in Wuhan wrote an article about her, touching off a strong response in the city and far beyond. Cook says she was contacted by people in every province in China. Some said they had given up children and others said they were simply taken by her quest.
Cook ultimately met with 50 families to see if she was their daughter. In those talks, she discovered many things, including the collective pain of Chinese families who had given up children. In most cases, the families had wanted a boy and decided to give up the child when it turned out to be a girl. Her efforts in China became her college thesis at Yale and an article in Foreign Policy. She spoke about her experience with Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep. To read that interview go here.
One child searching for her mother indeed touched an entire city with hope for family restoration from the daughters they lost to national public policy limiting families.
