To save lives. My daughter lived...she almost didn't from her abandonment. Many children do not survive the ordeal. If a child who is going to be left is brought immediately to the SWI his/her chances of survival greatly increase. That is the documented defense of at least one of the traffikers and SWI director's who were imprisoned. Having met some orphange directors...knowing how much they love the children...I believe that defense.

Now, I also agree there are less children too. I am not saying there are more. I trust China. I believe in her goodness. I am saddened by the rules, but I stick by China's right to make them and enforce them. If DH and I decide to adopt a second, s/he will be from another country who allowes diabetics and high BMI.
