Two adoptees volunteer at their former orphanage

Two girls, Abigail Anderson and Bingjie Turner, were adopted from an orphanage in China when they were 13 years old and brought to the US. Then, as adults, they returned to see what had happened to friends who were not adopted — the so-called "left-behinds."
