Synopsis

Selma gives Mr. Burns his driving test to replace his old license, which expired in 1909. During the test, she experiences a hot flash and is later taken to the hospital. She learns that she is experiencing menopause (which is explained in a video with Robert Wagner). She is saddened that now she can't have children. Patty suggests that she adopt a child. However, after her first choice, one of Cletus' children, is taken back, Selma decides to adopt a child from China. Although her forms are in order, Selma learns that she has to be married to legally get a child. She puts down the only name she can think of: Homer Simpson. While on the plane to China, Selma informs Homer that he must pretend to be her husband. Shocked, he later decides to do it for Marge. When they arrive, Selma claims that Bart and Lisa are their own children and Marge is their nanny. The Chinese adoption agent, Madam Wu (voiced by Lucy Liu), tells them that they will get a baby in a few days. Homer claims he is a acrobat and is called to perform a stunt when the main performer in a show suffers a "bullet-related death". Homer himself gets severally hurt performing and is treated in a hospital. There, Selma gets her daughter, whom she names Ling. When everyone leaves, Homer and Marge snuggle and are caught by Wu, who takes back Selma's baby. The Simpsons decide to bring back Ling. At the nursery, they dress Homer up as a Buddha statue. The Chinese guards bring him in, although Homer can hardly keep in the pain they are causing trying to move him. He is able to find Ling and get her out. In Tiananmen Square, they are confronted by Madam Wu and Selma is able to convince her that she should keep Ling. Wu says that she herself had to be raised by her mother, as her father choked to death the day before the Heimlich maneuver was invented. The Simpsons, Selma, and Ling then depart China via junk.
