In 1994, Caroline, an American woman, came to China on a business trip and heard that it was possible to adopt children in China. After application, Caroline adopted a female abandoned baby in a welfare home in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province. Caroline then brought the abandoned baby back to the United States and worked hard to raise her daughter to adulthood. Seventeen years later, the 17-year-old adopted daughter Anna is already very mature and very sensible. At this time, she also desperately wants to know where her biological parents are? Therefore, Caroline, an American mother, came to China with her adopted daughter to look for relatives. So did Anna find her parents? Why did her parents abandon her? The most important person in this issue will take everyone close to Anna's path of finding relatives.

In 1986, Caroline, an American who was working in medical work at the time, came to China for the first time, and in China, Caroline traveled while working, and soon she fell in love with the country of China.
In the years that followed, Caroline often traveled between China and the United States for work reasons.
In the family, Caroline, who is almost 40 years old, has never been able to bear a child for her husband, and their marriage has been in crisis. At this time, Caroline thought, or adopt a child.
After much inquiry, Caroline learned that China could adopt a child.
Caroline
In 1994, when 40-year-old Caroline returned to China on business, she immediately registered for adoption with the relevant Authorities in China. In China, the adoption mechanism is very sound, and there are strict regulations for foreigners to adopt Chinese children. First of all, the registered family should be perfect, and the adopter should be in good health, and then there were a series of regulations, but these rules, Caroline met, and in this way, Caroline successfully obtained the adoption permit.
Jiujiang Children's Welfare Institute
At that time, Caroline happened to be on a business trip in Jiujiang, Jiangxi, and after inquiring, she learned that there were many abandoned children in the Jiujiang Children's Welfare Institute. So she came here, intending to adopt a child.
When she arrived here, Caroline took a fancy to a little girl, who was not yet a year old at the time and had only been sent to the welfare home for a month.

In this way, Caroline took the little girl back to the United States from China after completing the registration procedures.
Caroline's family is very large, the family is native American, with white skin and blue eyes, for this yellow-skinned, dark-eyed child, the whole family loves it very much, and they all regard the little girl as a baby.
Caroline also named her daughter Anna. The word An means to take peace and peace in China.
Daughter
In this family, Anna is the only daughter of Caroline and her husband, they love this daughter very much, and as Anna grows up, they will let Anna enjoy the best American education and teach Anna to learn English.
In high school, Caroline even taught Anna Chinese.
As Anna became more sensible, she soon discovered that she was different from the people around her. Although there are yellow-skinned and dark-eyed children like her at school, the parents of these children are also yellow-skinned and dark-eyed. But why are her parents white-skinned and blue-eyed? Obviously, this had the answer in the biology class she had just studied, and she was certainly not the biological daughter of her parents.
Anna and mother
One day in 2010, Anna came to Caroline crying, hoping that Caroline would tell her the truth. Caroline, who has always respected her children, knew that she could not hide it. So she told Anna the story of her adoption of Anna in China.
That day, Anna cried for a long time after learning the truth, and she couldn't figure out why her biological parents had abandoned her. But on second thought, Anna desperately wanted to know where she came from, and who her biological parents were. Secondly, she personally also very much wants to study Chinese Chinese language and culture in China.
In the summer of 2011, anna was on summer vacation, and she had a long vacation, when she once again mentioned to her adoptive mother Caroline that she wanted to return to China to find her relatives. This time, Caroline did not hesitate, but gladly agreed to Anna's suggestion, because she felt that it was very important for Anna to help anna find her biological parents.
Of course, Anna and Caroline's mother-daughter relationship is also very deep, they almost talk about everything, even after Anna knows that she is not Caroline's biological daughter, she still promises Caroline that she will accompany Caroline for the rest of her life.
Anna and her mother walked down the street
In July 2011, 57-year-old Caroline took her 17-year-old adopted daughter Anna from the United States by plane to Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province. This is Anna's first return home after leaving China. Anna, 17, has a standard oriental face, but the old Americans around her are very noticeable on the streets of Jiujiang City.
In this fourth-tier city, foreigners are rarely seen, and the combination of young and old quickly attracted people's attention. Caroline couldn't say Chinese at the time, and Anna's Chinese was very average. Through constant inquiries, Anna and Caroline finally arrived at the Jiujiang Children's Welfare Institute.
Xu Dongjiao
After arriving here, Caroline and Anna were introduced to Xu Dongjiao, the nursing doctor who took care of Anna for a month. But 17 years have passed, and Xu Dongjiao has forgotten how Anna entered the welfare home that year, and she doesn't even know any information about Anna's identity.
Later, Xu Dongjiao helped Anna's mother and daughter find a copy of Anna's information in the archives of the welfare home.
Jiujiang Sanli Street Vegetable Market
According to the data, one day in March 1994, someone found an abandoned baby girl at the Sanli Street Vegetable Market in Jiujiang City. It was then sent to the police station under its jurisdiction, where the police sent the baby girl to the Jiujiang Children's Welfare Institute after constantly searching for the baby girl's parents without success.
Based on the physical condition of the baby girl at that time, the welfare home judged that the baby girl should have been born in January of that year. Of course, this baby girl is now Anna.
Although this material is not very valuable, it at least let Anna know that she was abandoned to the Three Mile Street Market in March 1994.
After that, Anna and her mother Caroline came to the Sanli Street Vegetable Market in Jiujiang City, but 17 years later, the vegetable market has long been rebuilt, and the shops of that year have been changed from stubble to stubble. It is difficult to ask about eyewitnesses of that year.
Just as the mother and daughter were worried about finding their relatives, Caroline was helped by a friend from Jiujiang who worked in the United States, who gave the task of searching for relatives to her mother who lived in Jiujiang. According to the information provided by Carolina, Big Mama contacted the Jiujiang Yanjiang Community Residents' Committee, the Jiujiang Volunteer Federation and the media, hoping to find Anna's biological parents through civil forces.
In those days, many volunteers did take the initiative to contact Anna, and Anna would often sit in front of the computer to check the clues of the portrait pictures sent by Jiujiang volunteers using emails, as well as the corresponding basic information of the characters, to distinguish whether the photos received were their own parents.
Each photo Anna will be repeatedly browsed, seriously recalled, with anticipation in her eyes. How eager she was to find her biological parents who were connected to her blood as soon as possible to fulfill her wish.
Soon after, a reporter from Jiangxi Daily contacted Anna's mother and daughter and wrote a report based on the information Provided by Anna.
With the help of the media, Anna's mother and daughter also see new hope.
Jiangxi Daily
On August 17, 2011, Jiangxi Daily carried a front-page headline about Anna's search for relatives in China. The report quickly spread to all corners of Jiangxi Province.
Just when Anna and Caroline were confused, an uncle surnamed Luo called a reporter from Jiangxi Daily. Mr. Luo claimed that his daughter had been abandoned near Three Mile Street and that her birthday was in May 1994, so he speculated that Anna was his daughter. This news undoubtedly gave everyone a great surprise.
After communication with reporters, Mr. Luo agreed to meet with Anna.
Anna was thrilled to hear the news, and she felt that she could meet her biological parents right away.
But the night before the agreement to meet, Mr. Luo suddenly repented, claiming that he had something to do.
Anna was disappointed, she didn't know why her parents didn't want to see her?
Xiao Luo
The reporter did not give up, but through many inquiries, found Mr. Luo's eldest son Xiao Luo. According to the birth, Xiao Luo is Anna's older brother, and after communicating with reporters, Xiao Luo conveyed his father's meaning, and the father was obviously sure that Anna was his own daughter.
It's just that he didn't abandon his daughter that year, but his wife secretly took her daughter out and abandoned her. According to Mr. Luo, the relationship between husband and wife was not good at that time, the two often quarreled, and the family conditions were very general, so the wife abandoned her daughter.
To this end, Mr. Luo later divorced his wife, and he single-handedly pulled up Xiao Luo and Xiao Luo's other sister.
After listening to so much, Anna was very calm in her heart, because she was not sure whether Mr. Luo was her father or not, and she was eager to meet with Mr. Luo and then do a paternity test. Through Xiao Luo's continuous persuasion, Mr. Luo finally agreed to meet Anna.
Little Luo and Anna meet
When it came to the date of the agreed meeting, Xiao Luo took the lead in the hotel room where Anna was, and the first time they met, both sides were a little embarrassed, xiao Luo said that Anna looked a bit like his sister in his family.
Half an hour later, Mr. Luo finally came to the scene, Mr. Luo greeted everyone very politely, and then Mr. Luo sat next to Anna and began to talk to everyone about the past.
Mr. Luo came to the scene
Mr. Luo said that he had also tried various methods and found his daughter in many places, but in the end there was no clue.
After seeing Anna looking for relatives this time, Mr. Luo was very sure that Anna was his daughter.
However, in the comparison of key information, problems soon arose.
Earlier, we also said that anna's date of birth inferred from the Jiujiang Children's Welfare Institute should be January 3, 1994. However, the date of birth of his daughter given by Mr. Luo is May 31, 1994, which is a difference of nearly five months. Obviously, Mr. Luo couldn't have misremembered for so long. And at that time, Mr. Luo also told reporters with great certainty that his daughter was born on May 31, 1994.
What's more, Caroline vaguely remembers the date of her adoption of Anna, which was in May 1994, which proves that Anna must have been born before May 1994.
Later, after a paternity test, Anna and Mr. Luo were indeed not father-daughter relationships, and unfortunately, this time Anna did not find her parents.
This result made Anna and Mr. Luo very embarrassed, but to have this meeting, Anna also thought that she had made some progress in finding her relatives. Mr. Luo also told reporters that he saw Anna and how he saw his daughter.
Caroline also admired Mr. Luo's courage, saying that it is precisely because of the existence of people like Mr. Luo that babies who have been abandoned by their relatives can find their biological parents again.
Because Anna and Caroline's visa dates were about to expire, Anna could only return to the United States with regrets.
Before leaving, Anna also told reporters that she would not stop looking for her biological parents. I will use the summer vacation after that, and I will come to China every year to find relatives.
In the summer of 2012, Anna graduated from high school and was admitted to a university in the United States with honors.
During the summer vacation, Anna came to Jiujiang again, this time, she still hoped to find her biological parents, but she did not let Caroline follow, but came to Jiujiang alone, accompanied by volunteers who were proficient in English. But anna stayed in Jiujiang for a month, but there was no gain, and in desperation, she had to fly back to the United States again.
In the years that followed, Anna would come to China every two years to look for relatives, and each time, Xu Dongjiao would take care of the mother and daughter from the United States, but unfortunately, after many years, Anna could not find her biological parents.
I hope that everyone will forward it more so that Anna's parents can see this long-dusty report.
Remember, Anna was looking for them all the time.
