[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is he a white male from this area? If so, he's a dime a dozen. It's a bummer but it sounds like he has a lot of good choices.[/quote]

Yes we are white but our son is adopted and is ethnically Chinese[/quote]

WTF kind of answer is that? PP asked if he's white and YOU SAID YES. He's not white though. He's Chinese American. Wow, I feel so sorry for your son. [/quote]

I think this may be bunk. Given the well documented preference for male children in China, it seems highly unlikely that a healthy, non-disabled male child would be given up for adoption to a white US couple. Similarly,  Asian Americans rarely give up children for adoption. Perhaps the comment about giving away too much information spooked the OP and s/he is trying to obfuscate the facts to conceal her child's identity. [/quote]

Some people on here are so weird, always trying to find something wrong or some conspiracy. Ever heard of the one-child policy in China? Many kids were given up for adoption between 1980s and 2010s. Sure males were preferred, but there were a large number of variables causing many males to go up for adoption too. And OP, congrats to your son and thank you for adopting someone[/quote]
