  • :( This kind of thing breaks my heart, As soon as i get my job and a house, Im so gonna adopt

  • Strange! Chinese are already invaded their neighbours and Australia, Canada, Africa. Looks like they have a new plan for complete take over. After all plastic toys and shit from China, now get a chinese baby! so just a few generation later , all planet looks like them. Shit!

  • Great story!

  • I am tired of Americans such as Lisa Ling constantly denouncing China this and China that. Like American policies are any better?

  • when they first introduced the policy, the rest of the world encouraged them. Let's not forget that. And people today are still talking about overpopulation, the need for population control... this is terrible.

  • Love transcends all boundaries

  • Shame on China

  • I'm Chinese, and my parents always wanted a girl. They said that I were born a boy then they would try for a second one...in America.

  • @eastahbunbun me too! :) 

  • You have to pay a big fine for a second child.

  • My aunt had my two cousins but they had to pay a big fine to have the girl.

  • @ComradeMing Thats not what I've heard... Im studying Mandarin and have lots of Chinese friends, they even admitted to me this happens. Its illegal, its disgusting, and most Chinese people don't do it, but its still true unfortunately.

  • @fabiocassadinho whats illegal?

  • @YamiPoyo Eating baby fetuses 

  • Comment removed

  • This video made me cry... and im a guy...thank you 4 sharing

  • @nickdemin aww<3

  • @YishaWang Yep. It is sad tho that Chinese culture, which at times can be inspiring can also be brain dead tho. Anyway, I know some friends who adopted Chinese girls here in Canada. Some of the Chinese traditions are pretty frustrating; e.g., son gets life on silver platter whereas daughter has to send family money every month. I guess its changing and details differ from family to family but uggh.

  • I would eat cat shit just to spend one night with lisa ling !...

    Maybe not ! but damn !, YUM YUM

  • i am you mama , and this is your baba . so sweet

  • That was a beautiful thing!

  • please return china products they break

  • @JoefelGo ok! ok! US product are durable but US now is facing a financial crisis and had a 1 trillion dollars debt to china..thats the strategy of china exporting crappy cheap product thats why there keep growing and growing now..

  • Come on...I am Chinese male. I think today, China is lack of Girls....It is so hard to find a proper wife these days. The government should stop exporting them out...

  • @lkj17 Chinese families should appreciate their daughters better and then, the problem, a silly one by the way, would be solved. ;). My understanding is, Chinese guys with good jobs still lol find wives by the way.

  • @gejost you know what, nowadays girl abandon is not a major issue. the major issue is that Chinese parent over-spoil their girl and make them become Starfish or Vast when they grown up. Not enough mature and sophisticated ladies in China, we should encourage more white girls consider Chinese males.

  • Why am I crying..

  • The chinese are verry bad with their children and animals!!!

  • I understand Woody Allen is looking to adopt a few of these baby girls.

  • see people dont believe the media. Americans are not all bad. and before you try to degrade america look to you own borders

  • so if now they allowed 2 per family?? its great news but so unfair for those who had to get rid of their 2 nd baby before...its dumb to even have that policy at first...or if they were gonna have it...it should at least allowed 2 babies at first

  • Tradition on choosing boys over girls are a big problem in countries like China, India, and other asian countries. I don't know what get's in them but i feel bad about those same families that chose it because their son have a big chance of not getting married. Poor bachelors.

  • @YishaWang

    In 2011 China now allowed two childs per family

  • @energyalt56 it depends on the place or if you're minority. People that is minorities in the country are given chance to raise 2 and if they are living in the country side, they can raise 3. In rural areas, it's only one child policy. Get your facts straight.

  • why am i smiling

  • white men love Asian women, and white couples love adopting Asian babies.Nothing wrong with that just a little strange lol

  • chinese faggots... a day will come in China that there won't be enough puss.y since female population decreases at high rates.

  • My sister in law adopted one of these girls. As a result we have been so blessed by our niece from China. We soon learned she was born on the same day as her new cousin *my son* so they share a birthday. She was really just meant for us. He later learned to speak Mandarin and shares that with her now too. These children are a true blessing for the families in the west who adopt them. I hope somehow her birth mother knows what a gift she gave us. This litle girl is well loved and has a good life.

  • @CAFREEB She will have a new life ahead of her.

    I wish I can say the same for the rest of the people in China.

    Keep spreading the good experience so others may follow.

  • something should be done about this beacuse of this look at all the bad things that are going on. did you know many of these girls in the orphaneges will get lice and other skin bugs and also beacuse there are nott enougth ppl to take care of these girls most babys are left crying for hours they have to self sooth them selfs a kid shouldnt always have to do that someone should be there to take care of them. most of these kids development is delayed with out haveing someone to work with them.

  • what if the people adopting them are pedos

  • Back ground check.

  • Still i prefer help animals

  • yeah, it is good to adopt them from young so they won't got the chance to learn about stealing, animal abuse etc in china

  • In my opinion this unintended social problem is not the fault of the Chinese government (for once). To avoid becoming overpopulated, it is necessary to limit births no matter what. It is the close minded adherence to tradition that cause parents to pick boys. If i was in the Chinese communist party, I would make an amendment to the one child policy: parents who have, keep, and raise girls well get an annual bonus from the government.

  • They don't like girls very much.

  • АДвокат!

  • why would white people likes to adopt chinese baby?

  • Comment removed

  • @ivanskybomb Sometimes is easier to adopt a child in an other country than in your own country. I love Asian cultures and maybe in the future i'll adopt an asian child.I think that because i know a lot about Korea for exemple, and i speak korean,I'm as capable of raising a korean child than a korean woman.

  • @TalyaSan wow i respect that and admire your asian sensation, you the balls of steel lol

  • @ivanskybomb because white baby are ugly and stupid

  • Cool, white people adopt innocent Chinese kids and bring them over to America so other white people can call them "Chinks"

  • @brownale66pack They probably won't be chinks after being raised in America. But if you want to see chinks (e.g. ppl smoking in hospitals, spitting everywhere, pooping on the street, cutting in line etc. etc.) there are 1.6 billion of them in China proper.

  • @heituzi smoking in hospitals and spitting everywhere, having sex with their cousins and getting drunk then beating their mothers... I think you are referring to the millions of rednecks and hillbillies in America... I live here and have seen them

  • @brownale66pack It's commonplace and in the cities in China. There's an obvious difference of degree, and you'll find that out the hard way if you ever come to China. Here on YT you can easily find videos of Chinese doing horrid things in public. If you find one of a "hillbilly" though, pass the address along.

  • @heituzi typical Albino not to smell shit when you are covered in it. You want an address? All you have to do is go home and look at your family. BTW, you should probably get a genetics test because your mom and dad are cousins. Yee-Haw!!!

  • @brownale66pack Look at you - you're the bastion of culture.

  • i know im only 14 but someday i wish to adopt a chinese little girl :)

  • This is why China can't be used as a model for how to deal with the over-population model. These adoptive parents just want kids and I imagine that it would probably eat them up to think that their kids were stolen from their real parents. And what if, one day, the real parents want their child back? It's not fair to anyone.

  • After watching "kidnapped children of China" I wonder how many of these adopted babies are really "abandoned?"

  • I wonder how many of these babies are kidnapped and sold, to be adopted, and are not abandoned by parents?

    I know of someone who paid $30,000 to adopt from Russia.

  • @ChinadollTwo That's ridiculous! Why would you pay so much for a baby when there are plenty of kids here in the US that need homes? I don't mean to say that kids from Russia don't deserve a good life, but it just feels like those parents are buying good pedigree dogs or something.

  • @ChinadollTwo Good question. But from what I have learned, China has plenty of unwanted girl babies so no need to steal one. They all want sons because traditionally the children support the parents retirement and the males income is a good bit higher. Some moms suffocate the girl babies at birth. And a few places sell baby girls to restaurants for people that think eating babies is a way to cure male impotence.

  • @TheJohnnyfleming shit!close your fucking ass!go hell!!!

  • @strayelu Babies dont come from asses. but you did.

  • @ChinadollTwo Thank you for bringing that question up. TO be honest, actually many are kidnapped and sold to a 3rd party such as a adoption agency for money. This is not unusual. There is actually a social problem in CHINA, and many parents are seeking to find their own children. This whole National Geographic coverage is so sanitized on painting China law policies as horrible and Americans as this better people by taking adoptees in.

  • China or old fashion outdated chinese traditional ideas of preferring boys over girls needs to go. Girls are just as precious. If the male population is greater that the women, you can expect more social ills to follow that leads to mental illness and high crime rate. (gangsters, triads, suicidal types, perverts, gays)

  • @theagent3 Isn't China already experiencing many of those problems? But then there's also the fact that China's economy runs on having too many people. In a few years, China's going to go down the toilet all because of this ridiculous policy.

  • Most of these girls get murdered. I'd say 20 to 25 million kids are killed in the womb, killed right after birth, or killed in orphanages with horrible conditions EACH YEAR. Chinese rarely have any respect for life and this is one aspect of that.

  • @heituzi Whether or not you consider abortion to be full out murder is a matter of philosophy and opinion, but I think everyone can agree how sick it is that infanticide occurs so much in China. Many women are forced to have abortions due to the threat of penalties inflicted by the government on to the parents. It's illegal now for the Chinese government to give abortions by physical force, so at least that's something good.

  • @IwillKillYourCereal Living in China for most people challenges what they thought previously about abortion. When you see abortion advertised for 7 dollars on trash cans, advertised on TV as if it were funny, kids and old ladies sitting in front of advertising billboards and screens for "easy, painless abortions" - and when you see that kind of thing day after day, just the sheer scale of it should challenge what you previously thought.

  • who cares about missing children? I've got no ice for my drink!!! FUCK danny glover out

  • all them beautful baby girls them mothers must of been broken to give them away the ones that did give them away gave them a chance at life with chinas laws it must be hard as for the ones that abanden them... shame on you.

  • @callmedaddyhoe in china most people prefer boys because it's usually tradition to carry on the families name...

  • being a Chinese, I feel shame on this. we owe these girls.

  • @CallMeDaddyHoe I'm a girl, and I'm NEVER leaving my parents. I'm becoming a Nurse, I'll be making good money, and I'll stay and support them. Who ever said all girls marry into someone else's family? Not me.

    I'm never getting married.

  • This was very touching and brought tears to my eyes. I am a Chinese girl and I'm grateful that my parents weren't cruel like the parents who abandoned their daughters. It's such a horrible thing to do.

    I talked to my uncle's neighbor, who has a son, about why he prefers sons over daughters, and he said it's because daughters will marry into someone else's family while sons stay in the family. That's stupid reasoning. -_-

  • o_o. Wow some people who are commenting are really retarded. Most know absolutely NOTHING about China. They showed this to me in my Honors Geography class and the entire unit on China pissed me off. Sorry, but many Westerners don't understand the Chinese and only spread shit around everywhere that ain't true. I would know, being a Chinese girl that actually gives a damn about China and our history. If you don't know worth shit, don't even bother saying anything. It pisses people off. A lot.

  • @iRawrrAlot Can you please enlighten us. I'm not being sarcastic, but rather sincere. I'd be 'pissed off' when people say ignorant things about the US.

    What are we not getting? China does have a one child policy, correct?

    Chinese culture does favor male babies, am I correct?

    There is a significantly larger number of young men to young women in China as a result of this policy, would you agree?

    What are we missing? Maybe you could provide a link that expresses you point of view.

  • @BillFlann9,

    Your ignorance lies not in you stating the facts (which are not entirely correct), but rather your lack of understanding and empathy of why these things are the case. For instance, China's one child policy is necessary for population control, and is not in place for the sake of it.

  • @Nyro888 Even though they do need some policy for population control, the Chinese government overdoes it. There will be a myriad of problems because of it.

  • I really wish I could adopt a Chinese daughter, I feel very bad for them.

  • cruel lifes. smart china

  • China's lost girls are either abandoned, aborted (forcefully) or taken to orphanages! The One Child Policy is ran by a severe communist government who has persecuted their own people for many years! This documentary is extremely water down and does not show the horrific conditions in which this country's women and children live in! Shame on you National Geographic!

  • @spazzkittymeow

    You know nothing about the sitiuation in China. It is the families don't want baby girls not the government. Plus, China is already full of 1.4 billion people. If there is no "one child policy", the stupid westerners would yell :" Chinese are breeding like rats and cockroaches." Ya, criticizing China without understanding its culture is the only thing the west can do.

  • I thought my country was in poverty, hell no. we wont go around dumping our own babies.

  • Ha, I cant wait until theres a day were women in China will be respected and wanted more than men because of the big inbalance that is caused by aborting females. Also easier adoption should be prioritised over abortion in my opinion

  • I wonder how these parents would feel should their adopted daughter ever face racial discrimination in the West? It's something that these parents never had to experience in their own lives. I wonder how they will deal with it?

  • Do you have any idea, how much money it cost these westerners and that money goes to the chinese Government... its 10s of thousands.

  • Does only the Han Chinese follow the "one child" law? or does other Asian nationalities (Hmong/Miao, Yao, Hui, Tujia) in China have to follow the law too?

    

  • Comment removed

  • @xXxPiousNinjaxXx

    No, Nationalities other than Han Chinese can have 2 Children, but the Nationalities of both parents must be non-Han Chinese. Han Chinese also can have 2 Children, if their first Child is a girl, and this policy only for Han-Chinese who live in remote area.

  • @xXxPiousNinjaxXx

    One Child policy is only for the Han Chinese people. Tibetan, uyghurs, Hui can have two more babys.

  • @RuiXuan97 Well boys are chosen more then girls to well um talk care of their parents at least that is what is said in China and the girls go and get married

  • I remember that when my mom came for me. My friends got interveiwed in that video and I was interveiwed for the newspaper because I was there watching this when I was 4 years and this does happen to me. Right after my dad died my mom wasn't ok but China isn't a bad place some people can't afford to have children so they have no choice and I went to China! Boys are better to have then boys because they are said to take care of the parents as they get older but the girls go off and get married.

    S

  • omg I cried to this vid...and Im a guy....god bless these kind people.....fuck china...its all your fault...

  • @mpingola

    I blame the tradition. Imagine having the mindset that boys are better in all of China's thousands of years of history. It would take more than a decade to change that thought. But then also, if you think about it, these parents gave up their child because they couldn't care for them. At least rather than keep the girls and have them live in poverty, they allowed for them the chance to get adopted.

  • @mpingola

    It is those families' fault. Not China's fault.

  • @RuiXuan97 1. most of the info generated by western media are inaccurate and outdated regarding the 1 child policy. it is on longer as extreme and harsh as it was in late 20th century.

    2. ur great-grandmother's generation can hardly be equated to current time, things have changed a lot socially and economically

  • I want to have a better rife and ride on my smarl canoesss

  • Some feel frustrated because of this. Some feel like they use their chinese adaopted baby as some kind of HOST to enter into the asian chinese community and also to be intrusive.some feel angry. You know, there is large asian community out of the gentrified CHINATOWN and K-town. they europeans drive into our communities and go everywhere like wild. This is not a tourist destination. For comparison, USA, there is a place like japantown in Los Angeles, Ca. USA.

  • There are a lot of people who suppress exploit patronize CHINESE EXPATS. someone told me that there are people who maybe do give them away because of this boys over girls, but some are kidnapped and sold overseas to westerners who WANT, chinese babies FROM china as some kind of fetish? Why not a white baby? from other places.

  • @mollykjodykazakhstan Here's why:

    1. In the USA, "white" children are comparitively less available for adoption.

    2. Americans are wary of adopting children from Russia, Ukraine, former USSR, because they're afraid the baby will have F.A.S.

    3. Americans are afraid to adopt Black American children out of fear that the child was born addicted to drugs and/or have F.A.S.

    4. With Native American babies, same as above.

    Chinese babies are less likely to have F.A.S. or drugs in their system.

  • It's kinda crazy to think of all the girls aborted/adopted/abandoned in china.. Like there's just a void there now where they would have been. It's kinda eerie to me...

  • If you watching this video and hating on it then why are you watching it dumbass. Asia is smarter than 98 percent of other countries.

  • @freshbro12 Fyi...Asia is not a country...>.>

  • @ShroomFairy hey, don't tell the obvious, they might run and call their mama

  • omg the dad that started crying made me wanna cry

  • tks for your reply and yes,so far only a few Chinese can buy these luxury goods and the rest are happy with copied items.Stealing intellectual property-no problem. E.g. you can already buy copied iphones before the original is releast to the market.

    Woe onto the world when the Chinese own 1 car per 2 people or travel the world as much as Western do;then there will be the same amount of Chin. tourists is US or Europe as there are inhabitants.That'll be bad.. The number of Chinxs are the problem.

  • @beenn15, if I have to tell you, then you don't deserve to know. Self explanitory

  • i just want to cry and adopt them all right now, because they deserve a family like everyone else.

  • Aww, Lisa Ling got emotional when she said "it was a beautiful thing" at the end :)

  • China has given americans the chance to adopt there children because they cant feed there population; the one child policy is for the prevention of starving children and parents its a global problelm. the chinese have contributed much to this society,from the bridges, doctors, research, please give them the respect they deserve.

  • @krglongbourn agreed 100%

  • beenn15: is that right. Boeing and Airbus airplanes, VW and Buick cars, LV bags and Prada shades are not Western goods? How weird your ideas are...

  • @klausbmj how many western countries do you know with a trade surplus? The fact is, we are net consumers... we can't compete with China at the moment. It's gonna take a while before the average chinese worker can afford a VW or a Buick, LV bag or prada shades. They can't afford these overpriced luxuries from westerners... as a matter of fact, some of them are made in China. Boeing buys a lot of parts from China so they can cut a profit...

  • Hello people who binds on youtube! come here divulagr our work! access our channel on youtube and see the band record, check it out! Thank you!

  • @klausbmj chinese don't buy western goods... westerners don't make anything anymore. They just consume.

    Your comment is incoherent.

  • @beenn15 westerners make weapons of mass destruction, that's all they make so nobody messes with them. They keep printing the dollar and inflating it's value, and if you complain about it, they supply weapons to your enemies. LOL.

  • @klausbmj the amount of ignorant bullshit in your comment might've actually made me regurgitate. clearly the only 'animal' here is you, educate yourself you dunce.

  • I'm trying to convice my mom to adopt a kid from a peru because in the jails most of the moms get pregnant so they have kids and they can only keep them till there four then teheu go to orfnigas knowing that thehere moms abandons them

  • It must be one hell of a frightening experience for a baby or small child to be just uprooted and handed over to people who do not even speak the way everyone has before. A recipe for a hell of a lot of very mixed up humans in the future.

  • @icke11234 I'm not a racist, I hate everyone equally.

  • O now im chatched up now

  • como puedo ver en español si me ayudas porfavor

  • I watched this video and then I thought to myself... Hhhmmm 30 more years of this and America will breed itself out of this world. Thankyou rockafeller!

  • @chuckmalmsteen

    Racist maybe?

  • @chuckmalmsteen what does that even mean?

  • US people are different from US Government.

  • I just saw this full video =( the baby girls are lucky to be adopted.. one couple was adopting the 2nd baby, the first one had been left in a park =( the (adopting) mom went back to that park and put a poster with her girls picture of when she was left and now happy and well in the U.S.

  • Beautiful my ass. i felt sad :(

  • @ZGJDJD

    I just saw this full video =( the baby girls are lucky to be adopted... China has nothing for them

  • Its critical that we understand that this isn’t solely a problem in China—women/girls across the world are mistreated, abandoned, killed, raped ect..because we think they are “less than” boys. We must learn to change the way we think about women in order for us to improve the world we live in...also the women that are forced to abandon their baby girls are under extreme social pressures to have a boy. Lets change society so this doesnt happen ever again!

  • @tsconflictfree this is crazy. why do men think that women are lesser than them? fuck it! it is men who do everything just to be accepted by women. We all know, we love to have sex with women. we will even pay just to do it. and most disorders came from men. men are arrogant. we should see women as precious jewels.

  • @watchWorld100 Maybe the loser guys who can't get women

  • @PUAPrivateArchive lol i agree it is possible. lol

  • you guys think you are smart enough to comment on other ppl situation..you knew nothing bout china!!in poor countries like cambodia and india parents sell and abandoned their kids to become prostitutes!.it even sad!thanks american!

  • crazy bastards hate baby girls !

  • @CrazyNative4 ahahaha now whats funny is the idiots now have 130 boys for every one girl looks like they will have a shortage of girls. China's one child policy will probably extinct all the girls.

  • @likpit hahaha more males are being born everywhere not just China.

  • Oh most of u don't know enough about China to understand the problem enough to comment with total bullshit.

  • @heindrich1988 I totally and 100% agree with you. Any daft retard can utter a statement such as "this is wrong"

    "no one should be able to limit how many children one should have etc etc etc

    with out having a clue about the complex problems that exist in China

  • @heindrich1988 chinas fucked up. full stop!

  • god bless those people who bought those children ...and thank you for giving them a loving home ^u^

  • "consequence of one-child-policy" at 0:39 is absolutely BS. WTF is wrong with these people. WTF is journalism with integrity. These girls are dumped because of fucking people who harbors "the male is good" Chinese culture. Fucking bitch.

  • Das ist krank!

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • if Chinese ppl usually want boys and abandon girls........then the country is gonna be full of dudes aint it? and they aint gonna be able to make babies

    thats kinda dumb

  • they speak good english

  • If you were to change families at age fifteen, it would be awkward, But we are all she has known since ten months. She is an American girl, as if she were born here. Graymoths, Our daughter is a smart, strong, caring person.

    She knows her history, and is proud of her heritage and roots. I don't think anyone has a perfect answer to what will become of "These girls" there all individuals. We sacrificed to adopt her, and just want whats best for her. We hope for happiness for her birth parents.

  • Wow, so touching. :( I am Chinese myself and I can't imagine how my life would be if I am living with parents from a different ethnicity. It's just .. awkward. I wonder how life for those children would be in the future? Will they have trouble "fitting in" with their families? Will they be discriminated against by their foster family or by people of their own ethnicity?

  • crazy china.....

  • @pinoko1311

    china is'nt crazy

    but those who dumped their daughters are FUCKING crazy.

    :)

  • @tonyhu12321 Exactly. Thank you. Its the fucking Chinese culture. Nothing to do with One-child-policy. LMAO. 

  • @tonyhu12321 I bet you don't have a bloody clue about Chinese society/ politics.

    Stupid American

  • @sarabower1 Yes , i agree.

    Many many parents now and even in the old times dont like girls because they think its harder work . I know because im chinese

  • @tonyhu12321 true, but let's not forget that these mind set and tridditional values are shaped and formed by Chinese society and viceversa

  • it is sad...you don't throw away children :(

  • Heh, This video makes me sad and happy at the same time.
