X`terrania Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Just curious though, would adopting a child byp!@#$%^&* China's strict law on how many kids a family is allowed to have?
PoLiX Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Posted May 23, 2008 It is actually not that strict anymore from other stories I have read, and is actually pretty easy to get around. a lot of people think familys will use this to take an easier route though.
Dav Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 apparently its strict in the cities, but not in the rural areas where people still have 5 kids quite frequently.
»Lynx Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 apparently its strict in the cities, but not in the rural areas where people still have 5 kids quite frequently. I heard the same.
X`terrania Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 cool, cool.. good variety of names for the kids to choose from as well..

rootbear75 Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 you guys do know how they name their children right? They throw silverware and/or pots and pans down the stairs...Ting Tang Chung
»Lynx Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 Wow root, what next, your momma is so fat her belt size is equator? - We've all heard it, and it don't get any funnier the more we hear it. Anyway, to go back on topic, I heard that from a column in The Times, so it's probably true, that's a pretty reputable paper. I'd like to see what the trend for adoption is, the Chinese have been killing a lot of their female due to their honour of male children carrying on their names... - I think the current population is like 70% male. Talk about sausage fest.. :/
Dav Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 Way to cheapen the topic root...

»Lynx Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 I thought they just twisted the one child per family rule to only have male children?
X`terrania Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 I thought they just twisted the one child per family rule to only have male children? Ahhh !@#$%^&* now I remember, it's one female per family, and as many males as you want now, isn't it? Military might!
»Lynx Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 I don't know. I've just read that it's one child per family, all other children have to be euthenased (sp?), however, as most families cannot afford the euthanasia, they are often just left on the streets. This may be exadurated, as I never heard this from a very reputable source, but due to Chinese tradition, it's always an "honour" to have a male child - so fathers often dispose of their female babies, and try harder for male babies. This has caused the 70/30 male to female ratio.
