My friend has been hosting chinese students for decades. Despite the one child policy most of these students had siblings, some more than one, which goes to show that if you have money the one child policy didn't apply or at least there were ways of getting around it.

Maybe in your 30s now? or close to it. (obviously, if this was real life and a work setting, I would lie and go under to not offend you). Puts your adoption in the early-90s. With zero scientific data supporting my opinion, I think adoptions were still tough back then. Internet was terrible. No support groups. Parents were just winging it.

It was not your parent’s fault they had to abandon you… it was Chinese government policy to have the one child policy… second and subsequent babies born had to be aborted or given up … the government wouldn’t even allow these unwanted children to be registered, so no education or health care… you have a right to be angry but not with you family🇦🇺

Yoshi got adopted

Was a bit ambiguous on who paid for the trip (airfare and hotel). I heard "organize", so I have to assume the Chinese government paid for at least the hotel. Not trying to denigrate your trip, but the money would have been better spent on the kids in the orphanage.

How to adopt from China?

Very poignant - thank you for sharing your stories

you're very lucky, many chinese to this day have never seen the outside world and get their visa rejected. Love your adpoted parents they pour their love in you and brought you up with a lot of love and care.

Greetings from China and heartfelt wishes for you a happy and cosy life. I used to work in the social security department in China before I left the country, so perhaps I can help you in a small way if you need to find your birth parents. This video touched me deeply, may God bless you!

Loved your video. I'm a Chinese adoptee, so I guess I can somewhat relate to you. The moment you said you felt shameful that you got adopted, while there were still countless children live at that orphanage, I had the same feelings too, wonder what happened to those who aren't as lucky as us.

逃离大陆，你太幸运了

Enjoy your stay in Morocco.

中国现在有许多帮助寻找亲人的公益组织，你可以了解一下。看了许多你的视频，知道你是来自黄冈，你被抛弃的原因大概率就是重男轻女了，你的亲生父母很可能跟你想的不一样，这很残忍但却又是事实。不过，有时候也有例外，比如你父母生下你之后实在是没办法养你了，不得已把你送走，我家乡离黄冈很近，我知道90年代的时候那里的农村还特别特别穷，真的就是穷到揭不开锅。不管怎么样，祝你好运，原谅我英文不好用中文留言😊。

寻根问祖，落叶归根，看来真就是刻在中国人骨子里的东西哈哈

Welcome

Have you uploaded your raw data to Illustrativedna to get your G25 coordinates? With these coordinates you can compare them to a large reference panel and it shows you how genetically far you are from all the references. It probably will be the most enlightening tool for you.

Looks amazing, hope you had fun.

It was very fun ❤

Think about this, if you do happened to find them, would you stay with your birth family and abandone your Mom & Dad in Netherlands?

Girl you don't need to feel insecure or anything, your Mom & Dad gave you a second life, one you couldn't imagine if you were to grow up in orphanage home. Racism exists everywhere, don't blame yourself or anyone for it. I know children who are adoptee tends to look for their birth family in homeland, i suggest don't do it, you ended up in an orpharnage for a reason. Sorry if my words offended you but it's the truth, all the best to you!

Thanks for this. Recently watched some videos about Asian adoption after seeing on RUclips the BBC documentary about Katie Pohla _ " Meet me on the bridge". Suspect things might be easier in Sydney where I live. Just watched the main ABC news where the anchor was Lydia Feng; in hospital 50% of my doctor's were East Asian and we have wonderful food bloggers like Janice Fung. Around 10% of the population here is East Asian. Very highly regarded as they have been so successful. I go to Indonesia a lot where you are hardly aware of its Dutch history - probably because the colonists were very problematic.

I was adopted from China and have definitely run into these types of conversations before. 😂 My favorite one growing up was “So.. where are your real parents?”

Your cinematography skills are amazing

I’m so invested in your channel! You are an amazing person

Superknap dat je jouw verhaal openbaar deelt. Ik deel deze visie!

I love how you tell your story. I am part Chinese and am looking to adopt a child from China. It would be so good to chat.

Hey Marlie, I loved watching your video, it definitely hit home as I’m wanting to start my search for my birth parents in China. I would love to talk to you about your process

Wow!!!

happy new year 2024 to you n your family. Amazing that your parents and others who adopted from the chinese orphanage were invited . Take that your trip and stay in China were sponsored by them and you n your parents were amongst the lucky ones to be selected for the invitation

You opening up and being vulnerable is so inspiring. I have these same exact thoughts from time to time. It’s nice to see that I’m not alone on this journey to self love 🥹

This all so relatable….. sometimes it’s difficult for those to understand this position until they walk in our shoes. I was adopted from china in 94’ by an American family. It’s very refreshing to come across your page and relate to every topic you’ve been discussing. 🫶🏼🥹 would love to connect one day 💛

Gefeliciteerd!!!! Ik ben Chinees vrouw en woon in Nederland

Be thankful for life your adopted parents gave you.

This kind of videos made me cry for some reason 🥺😭

What a beautiful child you were - and lucky you are to have great parents

黄冈的教育水平非常不错，有知名学校黄冈中学，但是湖北的考试压力非常大，这意味着如果在黄冈长大，很可能上不了大学，如果家庭不愿意培养，有很大概率会进工厂和养弟弟，所以请一定要相信幸福就在眼下，此时此刻。

❤

Thank you for sharing your stories. Sometimes I have the same situation in my life with other people who like to push me in a specific drawer due to my look. I can totally relate to these situations that you’ve been through. Although sometimes it’s very hard for me to figure out where in this world I belong to.

Oh la la, not giving up a child doesn't mean not giving up one is a "good mother". 3:02 A mother is an individual but she also is a citizen and a component of a tradition, of an international thought, & of so much more. She can be good and bad or neither, she "is" and tries to "be" in any given circumstances that life's pokerhands gave her. As a parent I found you have to choose all the time, continuously putting at risk your world, individual survival and your kids wellbeing.Then on top of that there are tempers and wild factors intervening live in situations which might alter a clear vision, equanimity etc. So there are just infinite moments of choices, a myriad of possibilities. When raising a child you learn 1 thing: whatever you choose intentionally or in the spurt of the moment, you can't turn it back. But you have to choose, whatever, whenever. You can never know the consequences. Sadly . Or maybe positively. Whatever happened, it made U. Unique. That is shg I am grateful for. It allows u to be multiple and bring in interesting sights. Life hasn't to be taken for granted, it is shg special you tell us, with your sporadic videos. Shg to reflect on.

Girlll your hair looks so pretty

Jij mooi mens

Bijzonder om het vanuit jouw perspectief te horen!

❤

Beetje een vreemde titel, maar wel een leuke video ❤

Its sad that you don't know anything about your parents and your family

Wow I would love to visit Rome someday ❤❤❤Roberto Prochilo❤❤❤❤

If you know the situation in China and the fluctuating nature of its so-called family planning policy, you should consider yourself very lucky.
