I'm from Hubei, Xianning, adopted 2001 to a Swedish couple. I wish so bad that I could get to know the truth about my abandonment and adoption, even if it might hurt. I'm so thankful for this blog though and I hope that this will make adoptive parents and more people open their eyes regarding adoption.

When I visited my hometown last summer, my (adoptive) parents went with the quiet approach, but unfortunately we did not find anything. I guess I didn't insist too much either as I thought it might make them feel uncomfortable, but now I do regret it.<br />We were told that families who wanted to reconnect with their child later on usually left a note giving the child's exact birthday, and it seems that this was not the case for me. Still, I wonder if you would have some of these families' contact information? I know this might be pointless and I may only have one chance in a million to find my birth parents, but I still want to try it.

We have found her birth family and have visited them twice. <br /><br />Their story (my daughter's story) is similar to some of the stories above and involves falsified information in her paperwork, money changing hands, threats by local family planning of destroying her birth family's home if they continued the pregnancy and many years of guilt and sorrow over handing their baby over to CWI officials. Thankfully, my daughter is reunited with them and we keep in touch monthly.<br /><br />I wonder how many other communities in China are similar to Ningdu.Truly Blessedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14038333888405690505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15636692.post-11641277943700544582017-09-26T17:22:53.579-07:002017-09-26T17:22:53.579-07:00It's so sad.

My answer to my daughters is "I have no idea how you were found or if you were found.."fish48223https://www.blogger.com/profile/05217547882795007987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15636692.post-19797375730467791472017-09-26T17:10:35.865-07:002017-09-26T17:10:35.865-07:00These personal accounts are so valuable!These personal accounts are so valuable!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
