How horribly sad!<br />I couldn't even imagine living in a country that does this to it's own people!<br />I have often wondered and worried a little about one of our guides in China. She was pregnant with her second child. They planned this pregnancy as they wanted a second child. Not sure where she called home, but I'm pretty sure it is in a big city. I just pray this doesn't happen to her.Daisy momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05888377451351521541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30204766.post-20562066726142644652010-10-29T11:17:52.394-04:002010-10-29T11:17:52.394-04:00I have taken so long to comment on this because I ...I have taken so long to comment on this because I found it so profoundly upsetting and ugly. This is truly the ugly side of China.<br />I sat and wept as this father spoke of his children and the absolute feeling of futility he has about what has been done to his family.<br />Things like this make is very difficult to separate what I feel about the Gov't and what I feel about the Chinese people, culture and the country itself.

This man IS putting himself in danger by speaking out and I applaud his bravery.<br /><br />I love knowing that my Chinese born girls (both of them) are empowered and have independence by living in this country. <br /><br />TraciTracihttp://www.journeytojaden.typepad.com/watchingthemgrownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30204766.post-81311735053161694832010-10-24T10:04:26.582-04:002010-10-24T10:04:26.582-04:00i am speechless. of course i knew this news but se...i am speechless. of course i knew this news but seeing this interview? i am speechless.kitchuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03907460384010952009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30204766.post-27746715150685418162010-10-23T23:23:12.910-04:002010-10-23T23:23:12.910-04:00So heartbreaking!:(So heartbreaking!:(Grizzly Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18095787568647802943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30204766.post-12048472663331744552010-10-22T11:11:22.887-04:002010-10-22T11:11:22.887-04:00Oh my God, how at 8 months along?

That just breaks my heart; that poor poor family. :( <br /><br />I had no idea their policy was so strictly enforces; I didn't know they could force abortions like that-I thought families just had to pay a large fine for having more children, so most opted not to. That just shocks me to the core thinking about it. <br /><br />My husband and I have really felt adoption is something we want to do for our next child (after we have this baby) but we had been leaning towards domestic. Now that I know this (and will share it will Will) I think we will need to really look at making the costs for a China adoption our future goal. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing; what a blessing you and Mia are to each other.Michehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09943079762244070030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30204766.post-3444050777925051132010-10-22T10:43:47.222-04:002010-10-22T10:43:47.222-04:00Heartbreaking.

We brought him home the next day. This is horrifying. I just can't even imagine. We are so very lucky to live where we live and have the rights and freedoms that we do. <br /><br />-Jen-AandAsMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257558953336258257noreply@blogger.com
