Birth Date: One-Child Policy and Toronto Resident

birth date: The couple took the girl in, named her Shanrong and raised her without telling her she had been abandoned, according to Hamilton Spectator. I picked up the baby and she immediately stopped crying. A red slip tucked under the newborn stated the baby's birth date and begged the family to look after the girl like their own because her biological parents could not afford to have another child in the household under China's then one-child policy. It's a new life in my hand and I couldn't abandon her again, said Zhong, 45, now a Toronto resident. She is an inseparable part of the family. Although we are not related by blood, she is my daughter in every way, in my flesh. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
