From Aaron's Province...

We've heard so much in the news about China perhaps ending the One Child Policy...however, this policy is very much still THE LAW.

And people ask us all the time why boys are abandoned in China...

We are much more familiar with Chinese baby girls being abandoned (often the first child and parents abandon the baby and try for a boy), but when there is already one child in the family, and a 2nd child is born...the gender doesn't matter. You've violated the law...I think some people might try to keep the boys longer, but when your family/relatives are in danger, the child is often abandoned and no one asks where he/she went...So sad...


I think as Americans, we cannot begin to comprehend a local government taking a family member hostage until the Mother succumbs to forced sterilization. This blatant human rights violation is appalling in this day and age in a developing country. The women and children and families of China deserve so much better...
