Default Re: How did you work out the delivery???

I haven't heard of the rule you mention but generally it is one per household but you can buy anything in China! They have now also allowed women of a certain age range, living in certain parts of Shanghai with a set income level to have 2 children if they want.

Kristie - I won't tell you what happens to female babies (not all but it is still common)...lets just say its a little worse than being a bad omen. Now there are such shortages of women in some parts that men who want to marry (and produce a son to work the land) need to pay a large dowry to the family.

Mainland China is another world unlike anything you or I know.
