An evening with author Mei-Ling Hopgood and her adoptive mother

Event Saturday, July 31, 2010

Austin’s Families with Children from China and Adoption Knowledge Affiliates presents "An evening with Mei-Ling Hopgood (author of Lucky Girl), and her adoptive mother, Chris Hopgood." Mei-Ling Hopgood, an award-winning freelance journalist adopted from Taiwan and raised by Chris and Rollie Hopgood in Detroit, Michigan, met her birth parents and siblings at age 23. She recounts this remarkable journey in Lucky Girl, and will spend the evening in Austin talking with us about it. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to ask both Mei-Ling and her adoptive mother questions you may be pondering regarding your own life’s journey as an adoptee and/or adoptive parent.
