Because there is an only child policy in china. some chinese parents in villages with very old ideas that only boy can inherit the Dad’s blood and nature. so some people abandoned the first child if it is a girl secretly for a future possible boy.
Besides, some chinese couple that have no children are inclined to adopt boys for the same reason. That is why there is a discrepancy.

it the past little girls were “throw aways”, I believe it is changing for the most part in the cities. Little girls are often left in public places & taken to orphanages. The culture in china is that boys can provide for the family & with the 2 child policy if a family already has a girl & has another they’re often abandoned, also in very rural areas families may not have the money to care for the child or the money for a birth permit, also required in China.

There is a strict one-child policy in China, and parents prefer to have boys because, in Chinese culture, the boys are usually responsible for taking care of the parents in their old age. (Once girls are married off, they generally take care of their husband’s parents.) Thus, many girl children are abandoned at hospitals and orphanages so that the parents can keep trying for a son.

Beautiful little girl. I don’t mean too sound like an idiot, but I have seen many adoptions from China and only once did I see a boy adopted. Does anyone know why there is such a discrepancy between the number of girls vs boys adopted?

Cheri.
Thank you. Congrats to you on LID! When we adopted back in 2001 the wait went from 9 – 13 months. I thought that was a long wait. Since then we adopted our second daughter through the SN program with a small hole in her heart. The heart is healing on its own and she was 3 when we brought her home. The wait for SN…from the time we were approved to adopt her, three months! Amazingly fast! She is healthy and happy and beautiful! Email me if you want to talk SN.
