One-Child Policy: Girl and Baby

one-child policy: The couple took the girl in, named her Shanrong and raised her without telling her she had been abandoned, according to Toronto Star. I picked up the baby and she immediately stopped crying. DONNA MALONEY / TORONTO STAR FILE PHOTO By Nicholas Keung Immigration reporter Fri., March 10, 2017 In the early morning of March 28, 1997, Zuan Zhong and his wife heard crying at their doorway and found a baby girl in a red jumpsuit in a basket.A red slip tucked under the newborn stated the baby's birth date and begged the family to look after the girl as 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.
