Roots run deep for children welcomed into US families

For Mark Willcher, a resident from the US state of Maryland, having a son from China means a lot of happiness and also having to learn a lot - culture, language and traditions that are way different from the United States.

"We adopted Eli two and a half years ago, and we want him to know that he has both roots in China and roots here in the United States, and we have enrolled in a Chinese language program," Willcher told China Daily on Monday night at a gathering to mark the Chinese Lunar New Year.

The Willchers were one of the 70 US families invited to the Chinese Embassy to attend a reception that featured Chinese acrobatic, drama and martial art shows. Eli also painted a facial mask and got a fur friend - a toy panda - as a gift.
