In China, there's an alarming trend among newborns. There are approximately 118 males to 100 females born. Normally this should be close to a 1:1 ratio. Experts say that the Chinese ratio is due to a high number of female babies being killed by their parents upon being born. The reason is that China limits couples to one child. Parents know that their children will be responsible for taking care of them as they become aged, so they would rather have a son, who is able to earn more.
Thankfully there has recently been a push to stop killing babies, and give them up for adoption instead. This is why it's quite easy to adopt a Chinese girl. Their orphanages are full of girls. Adopting a boy is next to impossible.
