...After enduring an intercontinental custody struggle matching that of Elian Gonzalez, four-year-old Phanupong ("Got") Khaisri finally has parents he can call his own.

And she has had children and lost them and fought to have more. As a young Barnard professor with a toddler at home, she lost twins six months into her pregnancy: If only, she thought, I had taken time off from work, taken it easier. A year and a half later, she writes, she was turned down for tenure by an appointments committee that believed, in the words of one member...
