Many of us would not have been blessed with children from China if not for the current Chinese government dictate of one-child. Change to that policy could have well been achieved had the government not been successful in the crackdown on Chinese demonstrators in Tiananmen Square nearly 20 years ago.
I know this site has strayed from the political, but on Mother's Day, we should remember those Chinese mothers who have given so much, whether voluntarily or by government policy, to abide by this regime's rule. Had those brave young people succeeded in China, I seriously doubt that the PRC would now have the one-child policy. My husband and I dearly love our Angela. But today, we are ever so mindful of Angela's Chinese mother and can only wish in tears that her choice had not been made for her by the current government.
Please visit this site to send your best wishes to the Mother's of Tiananmen Square.
Happy Mother's Day to all mothers, worldwide.

Not to worry, the fact that today is Mother's Day and with this yearly observance comes a host of feelings, especially from families who have adopted from China [and elsewhere].
You're right; this site is not a sounding board for political discussion. However, it would be remiss of us if we neglected the reason(s) why we are parents of Chinese children.
Happy Mother's Day to you!
