To the right: The yard that Zhao Jia li was living in when she was in the countryside. This place is so poor and dirty.
Life was so miserable and hopeless. Nobody could really take good care of her.

Family Background:

Jia li was purchased from the hospital (illegally) by a man named Zhao Chang Yin. His wife was insane and died ten years previous to our visit. Afterwards he worried nobody would take care of him when he got old. Through relatives and friends he bought this little baby girl. In the countryside since couples still want boys some will sell their baby or give it to someone else so they can have another chance at having a boy.

We had this little girl in our home from March 2004 to October 2004 but the man deceived us and went to the countryside police and had the child listed in his ID book as his legal child instead of getting her an ID of her own. She was no longer an orphan and the man was not cooperative so we returned her to the countryside.

Each fall we went to the countryside to check on her and provide warm clothes for the winter. In October, 2007 the man was eager to let us have Jia li back. We told him he could visit her only once a month and he was quite agreeable.

All the SANCS family was overjoyed at Jia li's return and she adapted instantly. She is a friendly, clever, affectionate little girl.

We brought her to a new life
