| @wonton Whoa, easy there. My examples are only examples. You have framed the argument as "China giving up its children," which seems purposefully designed to upset people. But you also say that you want to do what's best for the children. So the question is, is it better for a little kid (probably a girl) to grow up in an orphanage in their home country, or to grow up in a family outside their home country? That's not an easy question, but I'd lean towards the family. My point was only that I doubt that most people adopting kids are doing it for superficial reasons. I certainly didn't mean that China should be grateful because they are only girls. What I meant was that you could argue that China has already "given up" these children because they are in orphanages, many of them unwanted because they are girls. If you're uncomfortable with westerners adopting Chinese children, fine - find Chinese families to take them in. |
