China will no longer send children overseas for adoption, the government said, overturning a more than three-decade rule that was rooted in its once strict one-child policy.

China implemented a rigorous one-child policy from 1979-2015 to reduce its population. When families were restricted to having only one child, many opted to keep male children, who are traditionally expected to be the main caregivers for their families, and give up females for adoption

The adoption agency I work at got a call about this from a local newspaper. I guess there is no arguing with demographics.

Does your agency work with Chinese orphanages?

Some friends in Norway were unable to have children of their own, so adopted two girls from China when each was one year old. They had been very well cared for and turned into lovely young Norwegians.

They learned direct infusion into The Unites States was more immediate and effective so there was no longer a need to wait for adoptees to get to leftist college age.

15 years ago, when I lived on beautiful Bainbridge Island off the coast of Seattle, some neighbors bought a beautiful new house and moved in with their pre-school daughter and their adopted Chinese daughter. Lovely family and lucky Chinese girl.

As I recall, the Chinese who had daughters then tossed them in the garbage.

Our fertility rate is at a dismal 1.78, well below replacement rate of 2.1. It’s even lower for white women. This is why we keep importing people.

There is no control over who enters and it’s become a national security time bomb. Profits regardless of consequences?

I have less problem with people being imported when they aren’t out to destroy our culture and society and change it to a different country.

My grandparents assimilated.

The only thing I wish they would have done is passed on the language IN ADDITION to English, and the foods. Some great old country recipes gone forever.

And the same traitors who turned out border into a violent free for all for millions from the 3rd world, are the same exact people who’ve made it nearly impossible for young Americans to afford marriage, a mortgage, insurance, having babies and everything that goes along with all that. For the most part it’s not happening because there is no way more young adults can even afford all that in todays America.

I know several couples who adopted Chinese girls. Some because they wanted more children, some because they could have no children of their own.

I always found it ironic that these girls, who were abandoned on street corners or in dirty clinics in the poorest parts of China, would end up with wealthy, professional, highly educated parents in the USA, suddenly possessing every advantage possible in life.

What an amazing twist of fate

The are too busy sending military aged men illegally across our border. Those men are not getting out of China without government consent... So Obviously they have plans.

No, we don’t work with Chinese orphanages. The reporter who called us had a difficult time accepting that most adoption agencies do not handle foreign adoptions.
