Hi Billy,
Its great to have you here and so kind as to answer all of our questions!

I am curious what you think about the rule to have only one child. Has this caused any controversy? Are people very disappointed to have a girl?

I ask because I have a friend here in the US who has adopted two daughters from China. She is a single mother, and very committed to teaching and honoring their Chinese heritage. Last year she took her oldest daughter back to China at age 6 to visit the orphanage and village that cared for her the first two years of her life. It has helped her have great pride and a start to understanding her own story.

What do you think of these international adoptions?
