Thats what I was talking about. A couple of weeks ago, there was a 60 Minutes+ show that talked about the gender imbalance population in China (something like 116:100). Since there's one-child policy in China, and because most parents, esp in rural area, want boys to take on the family, leaving many baby girls on the street, etc., and hence being send overseas for adoption.

Interesting, I must admit, I missed your point. The child I am thinking of is a beautiful girl, and she had a cleft palate that was repaired surgically at her adoptive parent's expense. I know they want a boy, but it is apparrently taking substantially more time.
