You Are Too Fat and Ugly to Adopt a Chinese Baby
As I keep saying, the Chinese treat their people as poorly as they treat their animals. The communist government forbids families to have more than one child, and will force pregnant women that already have a child to get abortions. But some families have children in secrecy and dump infants on the side of the road or at the local communist orphanage.
But if you want to adopt one of these abandoned children, you can’t be gay. You can’t be fat. You can’t be on any anti depressants. You can’t be old. You can’t be single. And you can’t be ugly.
From the AP here:
BEIJING – China is imposing new restrictions on foreign adoptions, barring applicants who are unmarried, obese, over 50 or who take antidepressants, according to U.S. adoption agencies.
Under the new rules, only people who have been married for at least two years will be eligible to adopt, according to Harrah’s, the New Beginnings Family and Children’s Services Inc. of Mineola, N.Y., and Families Thru International Adoption Inc. of Evansville, Ind.
Among other restrictions, couples must have a Body Mass Index a measure of obesity of no more than 40 and be aged 30-50, with people up to age 55 considered for children with special needs, according to the agencies.
The rules bar parents who take medication for psychiatric conditions including depression and anxiety or have a “severe facial deformity.”
The China Center for Adoption Affairs has said it is trying to increase the number of children available by creating a new charity to improve conditions in orphanages and “keep infants and young children alive and well enough to be adopted,” Harrah’s said.
Many Chinese children adopted abroad are girls who are given up by couples who, bound by rules that limit most urban families to one child, want to try for a son. Others are left at orphanages or by the roadside by unmarried mothers or poor families.
This story also lets it be known that Chinese orphanages are hell holes where infants and young children often get sick and die, hence the need for improvements in conditions to keep them alive and in good condition to be adopted.
The Chinese are complete jackasses about their adoption rules. Granted, there aren’t really any countries that will openly adopt to a gay couple and most of them also have age limits but the Chinese are really getting scary with the rest of those restrictions?geez. What would be the problem with someone with a facial deformity adopting a child? It’s not infectious. Checking a person’s body mass index?these scary freakin’ bastards are hurdling towards Nazi-town faster than you can blink.
While we were in the initial stages of our adoption and were informed of various countries restrictive rules and regulations, it was very infuriating. It just doesn’t make sense to keep literally hundreds of thousands of children locked up in orphanages, barely existing, when there are so many people who would adopt them.
