They found out their adopted daughter has a twin. Now they're rushing to China to get her

Lisa Lumpkins was scrolling Facebook when she first saw the photo. In her newsfeed, a group that identified older children in need of adoption had posted a picture of a teenage Chinese girl who looked strikingly like her own daughter.

The image bore into her mind and she couldn’t shake it. She thought maybe she was imagining the similarity. So she shared the post on her personal page and almost instantly close family and friends were messaging her: That girl looks a lot like Aubrey.

Lumpkins and her husband, Gene, lived a comfortable life in Georgetown, Kentucky. with two children, 7 and 14, a mortgage and a Lexus in the garage. She was done having biological children, but ever since she was a young girl playing with her baby dolls, she’d felt a pull to adopt. Her husband felt it, too.

They decided to adopt a child from China, and originally were signed up for a traditional adoption. But then they heard about special-needs adoptions and knew those were the children who needed them the most.

Lumpkins, 43, is terrified of flying and had never been on a plane - aside from a quick commuter trip she took to prepare herself - before she flew across the world in 2008 to get her first Chinese baby, Maya - an 18-month-old girl with bowel and gallbladder complications. When she brought Maya home, she couldn’t stop thinking about the other children left behind in the orphanage.
