Fu Qian, renamed Cecelia Nealon-Shapiro at 3 months, was one of the first Chinese children — most of them girls — taken in by American families after China opened its doors to international adoption in the early 1990s. Now, at 13, she is one of the first to complete the rite of passage into Jewish womanhood known as bat mitzvah.

It's in the City/Region section and there's a small milestone involved with the opening of adoption from China. On one hand I agree with you, but on the other Confirmation parties are hardly as entertaining as some of the Bat Mitzvahs I've seen. Particularly the ones that reach a "My Super Sweet 16" status. I've never see a Confirmation party be more than a back yard barbecue or small catered thing for family/friends.
Also the article seems to be about the phenomenon of being Chinese and Jewish which as one says is normal to her, but weird for her to actively think about.
