question: Ashley woke up bright and early on Friday morning during summer. Her birthday was only a day away, and her parents had promised her a trip to the fair as her present the next day! She thought it was going to be quite a treat. She skipped down the stairs to see her mom making a chocolate cake on the stove. "You run along outside to go play with your friends," her mom told her, "I can get everything ready for your special lunch on my own." When Ashley made it outside, she found her friend Katherine playing in the dirt. When Ashley came closer, she saw that in the dirt were a bunch of insects. Katherine loved finding and collecting different ones for her insect collection. Ashley thought it was kind of gross personally, but she sat down next her anyways. "Happy birthday, Ashley," Katherine yelled when she saw her best friend. "Thank you," Ashley answered, "Do you want to go up to the playground until it's time for lunchtime? Mom says you're invited to come by the way." Katherine nodded, and the two spent a fun morning playing on the playground. Once lunchtime came, the two walked back to Ashley's house. She could picture how many of her favorite foods her mom had most likely made, and she could almost taste the spaghetti on her tongue. Lunch was ready when they arrived, and it was delicious! The chocolate cake her mom made was an extra special treat. She couldn't wait to go to the fair tomorrow!

question: A couple of years ago, before a trip to China, Nicole Davis and her US women's volleyball teammates were warned about the prominence (, ) of coach "Jenny" Lang Ping in her native country. "I was pushed over by Chinese journalists while I was just trying to put my luggage on the bus," said Davis. Known as the "Iron Hammer" for her punishing spikes , Lang made it possible for China to dominate in the sport in the early 1980s. She was a key player on China's 1984 Olympic gold medal winning team. When the US team arrived for the Olympics, Lang, 48, who is from Beijing, had to take a different route to avoid a crowd of reporters and fans. Then came the greatest moment to Lang:while the US team was playing in a packed gym, at least 8,000 Chinese fans _ an American flag. "That really says it all," Davis said. "They look at her as an icon .I'm sure it's hard for them to see her coaching another country, but they love her so deeply that her success is their success." The loyalty of the Chinese fans was tested on Friday, when China lost a match to the US. "It's a pity that China lost the match, but I'm still glad that Lang Ping's team won, since she is the pride of China's volleyball," said Liu Chengli, a spectator. "We also cheered for Lang's victory." Lang said she just tried to stay professional when the two teams meet. "It doesn't matter if we play China or any other team. It's the same." Lang said. Davis said she and her teammates could not have imagined the passion for volleyball among Chinese because the sport was lack of popularity in the US. The reception from Chinese fans has touched the US players, said a US volleyball player Lindsey Berg. "It's such an honor to be here and play for our coach here in China," she said. "The amount of support that the Chinese give to her and us has been tremendous. The whole event has been unbelievable."

question: (CNN) -- She's built her career caring for orphans.

Jane Aronson has evaluated more than 10,000 adopted children from around the world. Her patients include the offspring of Hollywood luminaries. An infectious disease specialist, she treated Angelina Jolie's daughter Zahara, who was critically ill when the actress brought her home from Ethiopia.

In her new book, "Carried in Our Hearts: The Gift of Adoption: Inspiring Stories of Families Created Across Continents," Aronson curates a collection of stories written by many of the families she helped to unite. The actress Mary-Louise Parker shares the moment she first met her daughter in an Ethiopian orphanage. "Grey's Anatomy" creator Shonda Rhimes remembers crying in a Detroit hospital parking garage, overcome with emotion while waiting for her adopted daughter's birth.

The book is also a family affair for Aronson. Her two adopted sons contribute their own recollections of how they became a family. Des Aronson, now almost 15 years old, shares an anecdote about getting lost soon after meeting his new mother when he was 5. Elevator doors closed unexpectedly at the Hilton Hotel in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, sending the new family into a panic across hotel floors.

But "Carried in Our Hearts" is about more than the orphans who found their way to loving homes. It also includes a heart-wrenching reminder of the children left behind. The number of international adoptions has plummeted by more than 60% from its peak of 22,991 in 2004.

More than 90% of Aronson's young patients were adopted internationally. In her work as a doctor, and as an advocate for children without families, she has witnessed brutal treatment of orphans in many parts of the world. She also knows the potential these children have to succeed, with education, attention and love.
