I very much enjoyed reading this book in the 70's. I am about the same age as the girls' were/ would be. I grew up in a community where International adoptions, particularly of Amerasian children, was common. This book helped me to understand the background of these kids. I would love to know how they are doing now. Does anyone have any information on Lee Heh or Holly or their now more famous mother?

I first read "They Came To Stay" as a college student in the late 1970s. This wonderful story of a single woman who adopted two Asian children made me decide that some day I would do the same. Seventeen years later, I traveled to China as a single woman and brought home a beautiful baby girl. I lost my copy of this book, and wish it was still in print - I would love to find out what happened to Lee Heh and Holly, who would now be grown women.
