Shamu: 鱼眼看美国,以及中国

When my parents flew from Nanchang (my hometown) to Beijing two weeks ago for their visas, they saw 5 or 6 American couples each of whom just adopted a Chinese child from Nanchang. It seems more and more American couples are adopting Chinese children, mostly girls. In "sex and the city", Charlotte was thinking to adopt a Chinese girl. I think most Americans, as Charlotte, have the impression that girls are not welcome in China. I have to admit that it is still true in China. :(

While what you are saying is true, it is well known to Americans and getting irrelavent. What makes China so attractive to these adopting parents over other countries is that the adoption system in China is fairly efficient. The Chinese in charge of this are also very professional and contrary to what most overseas Chinese people think, the small amount of money contributed by the adopting parents to the orphanages has been put to good use--back to the orphanages to improve the living conditions of the children. I am glad it worked out well for both the adopting Americans and the Chinese children.

我对这种领养充满悲哀，有个美国客户多年前领养了一个湖南女孩，最近又领养了一个。
为什么都是湖南？
为什么都是女孩？

因为全世界都认为中国湖南这个地方有虐杀女孩的习性。
人家是来拯救生命来的。
湖南人脸皮也厚，那里是领养？就是他妈的买卖人口，还是国际贸易的干活。

我想很多中国人都是或多或少有这种想法的，不过其实换个角度想，不管是中国人美国人，我们都生活在这个世界上，如果能互相帮助，让我们的孩子过上幸福平安的日子，就不应该让国界，民族的界限阻隔。世界上不幸的事情很多，需要的不是抱怨，而是身体力行的从自己开始一点一点去改变它。对这些美国人来说，虽然他们比谁都清楚这些女孩的遭遇，但他们那种乐观，那种爱心真的让人感动。对这些女孩来说，这是他们最好的归宿了。

shamu老师您好，找到你的地头了，呵呵。
喜欢这种白纸黑字的抒写方式，自从有了电脑，单纯在纸上写的时间就少了许多。记得我到广州玩的时候，在火车站，一位老夫人拿着整洁的本子，用钢笔字写着自己的路途见闻，我很是感动呢，我相信只有细心体会生活的人才会这样吧？

不管怎么说，湖南女孩有了自己好的归宿，还是祝福她们吧。

感谢他们给那么多的中国女孩带去了幸福,祝愿他们生活快乐!
