Just curious if anyone can shed some light on this "chinese tradition"...
I live in a small town in Northern Ontario, Canada. There is a chinese couple in town that moved here a couple of years ago straight from China. When they had a baby, they were "allowed" to keep her here for the first year, but then had to send her back to China and won't get her back until she is 4. The baby is living with the mothers sister in China.
The woman is now pregnant again and people are already talking about whether or not she will send this baby to China, too. Apparently "this is what they do"...
Can anyone that knows anything about this tradition tell me why they do this? I am very curious!
