About the adopted child in the play

One of the words that shocked me the most was: The pregnant Juno said to the adopters of her child, "You should go to China! I heard that they are sending children like free IPOD!"
Because I lived in the Civil Affairs Department before I was 17 years old. At that time, I was very puzzled at the time, why every day there are always tourist buses full of foreigners coming here to apply for adoption permits. Seeing the smiles on the faces of those foreign parents and the crying Chinese babies in their arms made me feel unhappy. I remember that I wrote a weekly diary called "Children Without Hometown", thinking that they have stepped out of the country, but never have their hometown, because no matter where they go, these children are still a foreign country. . . . .
It's sad, at least for me.

Juno quotes

  • Mac MacGuff: You're just a kid. I don't want you to get ripped off by a couple of baby-starved wing-nuts.

  • Mac MacGuff: I'm not ready to be a pop-pop.

    Bren: You're not going to be a pop-pop. Somebody else is going to find a precious blessing from Jesus in this garbage dump of a situation.
