China’s Adopted Children Return Home

The Economic Downturn around the world has made many Adopted Chinese return to their place of birth. Partly to renew their birth culture and secondly to find work.

 
After the Adoption rules were relaxed up to 120,000 young Chinese were adopted by overseas parents. Now with many of those in their late twenties and educated the wish to return draws them back home.

Many thinking that their upbringing in overseas nations would be an asset to finding work are realizing that looks may count for more than they think.

Many of China`s companies are looking for relations with overseas partners. They feel that it would be a benefit to hire non-Chinese-looking liaisons would be more beneficial. This brings the returning Adopted Children at a disadvantage, after all they look Chinese and this seems to outweigh their education and upbringing.


Whether this maybe true or not, the returning children are finding it as had as any native Chinese person to find work. The may eventually get their ideal job but they are reuniting with their cultural heritage and for many that is not enough.
