My aunt was one of the first to adopt a baby girl from China back in the 90s when that was just becoming "OK" for westerners to do. She said the orphanages were ALL girls over there...
There is a couple here that adopted two little girls out of a Chinese orphanage 10 or 12 years ago. They were malnourished, neglected and sickly. Now, after being raised in a loving caring home, they are sparkling vivacious wonderful kids. It makes you wonder about the ones who didn’t get out of China.
Actually, according to some reports and admissions from some Chinese leaders, this system is starting to backfire on China. There is now such a shortage of single females since boys are encouraged in China, that there is concern about unrest in the Army due to the same lack of women for the soldiers to start families with. Don't know how true the reports are, but think about an Army with a population bigger than our own country and no women for the male soldiers. Can't make for a happy barracks life!
