Heartbreaking moments parents say goodbye to their sons and daughters at China's 'baby hatch"

These heartbreaking photos reveal the anguish of parents as they abandon their children in China's so-called 'baby hatches.'



The images taken at a centre in Guangzhou - one of 25 such hatch facilities in mainland China, spanning 10 provinces and major cities - show the last moments before parents give up their infants  often due to poverty or an inability to cope with disease or disability.
Abandoning children is illegal in China, but the 'hatches' were introduced so parents could abandon infants safely rather than leaving them in the streets.

The hatch in opened in January, but staff were forced to shut the door just two months later after becoming overwhelmed with 262 abandoned youngsters - all of which were ill or disabled. 
'My baby cannot take care of itself when it grows up. I just want my baby to survive,' said a mother reported the South China Morning Post.

In one of the photos an uncle is seen leaving his niece who he says is suffering from leukemia and her parents can not afford her medical bills. 
Another distressing image shows a man crying after being told his baby is too old to be accepted.
A couple, whose child has Pierre Robin syndrome - congenital condition of facial abnormalities in humans - are also photographed walking to the centre to give up their child.  
A parent typically opens a door and places their infant in a small room, rings a bell and leaves before welfare services collect the child. 
Last month the welfare home's director Xu Jiu announced the suspension and told Xinhua news agency: 'I hope everyone understands the difficulties the welfare centre face.'



We are temporarily closing the centre [to new babies] so that we can properly care for the infants already at the centre.'

The centre, which also cares for orphans, has 1,000 beds.
Some 10,000 children were abandoned in China every year, said Wang Zhenyao, president of the China Welfare Research Institute at Beijing Normal University. 
Media reports say many of these are girls and disabled children.
Abandonment has been encouraged by the one-child policy and a traditional bias for sons, who support elderly parents and continue the family name, leading to the abandonment of girls. 


Even as China starts to relax the one-child policy, allowing millions of families to have a second child, it still penalises people who flout the rules.

Expressing my Heart out!!!

Just another story of busy days and super bad schedules, I thought, school holidays are going to be great, but it was exactly the time of sleepless nights and super busy households,  my life shifted 360 degrees with all its pain and joy!!

So then, I welcome myself to a new challenge, challenge to work things out to be a super cool mom, good employee and a medium wonderful housewife!!! (Wish I can say great!!!)  but somehow, stretching myself to the maximum gives me a lot of energy to meet up with the things I thought I can’t do, Life they say is a mystery and when you are in a situation of “no choice” everything comes unplanned and your expectations suddenly change, Everyday is like leaping from one experience to another to live with it and spend your time learning, it’s cruelly great to know that your way of life doesn’t limit only to live and work but to enjoy life with the existence of unknown….

Today Marks another year of living in this foreign land, 12 years of consolidated memories in Kuwait, but so far, none of these memories drag me down into the deepest misfit, It’s a constant learning to adjust and to make friends, to abide by the law and to practice acts of kindness and anticipating nothing in return…. 

It’s a great year and days gone so fast, let me just say, I thank each day of my life… whether I wake up with a smile nor stressed out, still I recognized the  pleasant things that make me who I am today!!!

Have a Great Day everyone!!  Dream big and Keep Moving!!

Love lots,
