Welcome to come back one day.

Rachel Raak Thank you for your response to the video! I will pass your message on to Isabella. I hope one day you can go back to China! Thanks again !

Wish u achieve your will as soon as possible！祝福好運！

I don't think its as bad as it used to be, The the Chinese Communists used to force abortions so a lot of baby girls were killed. The practice isnt as common anymore so there are less kids needing saving. That said the CCP is destroying families in Tibet and Xinjiang with their genocides, Cultural and literal, But I doubt they would let you adopt those kids since that would defeat the purpose.

Thank you so much! So glad you were able to find your dad!

Hi i want to adopt a child too

Dawn Meadows Dixon Documentaries Hello, Twins? I’m confused and missed part of the story perhaps? Does Isabella have a twin or did you earlier adopt twins? Thank you for your reply. BTW wonderful story. Congratulations on your Emmy win.

It was all about the one-child policy in China, not necessarily because the birth parents were irresponsible or incapable of parenthood.

It was China's one-child policy plus Chinese's preference for (healthy) sons over daughters (back then).

Sometimes someone cannot take care of their child due to circumstances, they love their kid enough to give them up to have a better life. Not all people give up kids because they do not care, some care so much that they know the child deserves more than they can give. You have a very single opinion on why people give up their kids, you should really try to expand that vision, there are so many reason some good some bad. So by your solution everyone should abort every child that isn't wanted? Some women make the biggest sacrifice ti carry to term and then give their child a better life, or they may not be allowed to keep the child as sometimes they are forced to give it up or the government doesn't allow you to keep it. So many reasons exist and it's important to recognize.

Also a mother isn't just a biological mother, you say the kid suffers but my husband is adopted and was adopted a toddler, he doesn't suffer. He knows if he had stayed with his birth parents in Ukraine he would have suffered in poverty and get had bad health and his birth parents couldn't afford his care. They gave him up to give him more. His parents who raised him love him more than anything and couldn't have children so they adopted. Man you are narrow minded.

They do not have volunteers presently but thank you for your interest!

Kara And emma They we’re adopted from China because of China’s one child policy. The government would only allow families to have one child to control the country’s population. My daughters and some 100 thousand other girls were adopted and brought to United States. It was a cruel and awful policy that should be exposed to the world! This went on for 30 years in China. If people didn’t listen to the government they were punished. There were forced abortions and sterilizations! This must never happen again! It was China’s holocaust! Thank you for watching and sharing!

@@dawnmeadowsdixondocumentar1951 oh

@@dawnmeadowsdixondocumentar1951 is easy for you to say that the one child policy is pure cruel and awful, since you are raised in America. Back then China is poor and underdeveloped, people from the rural area will tend to have as many children as possible, not that they want to have a big family but to have more children to help their farm work. Without that one child policy, China will still be as poor as India. If you really want to blame someone for something, why don't you blame the western countries (including USA), countries that invade China and turn it into a shithole. Plus, I was born in China 1997, the second son in the family in Guangdong.

@@user-pe4gz3mi2e well, little depressed prince, you really need to thank your mom for her courage to bring you to this world, for there were women with 7 or 8 months pregnancy who had to go through forced abortion after being caught. Or thank your daddy for his Guangxi and money which ensured your birth. And thank God you weren't a girl! Being a girl you would have very likely been abandoned!

Holly Holly don’t even try to act like you know a lot, for real, how many Chinese people you know in real life. Things are just not that bad for many people. 别在我面前装逼，我是中国人.
