Illegal Adoption?

In China, in certain areas and under certain circumstances, it is illegal for a family to have more than one child and this law came into effect in 1978.  The government of China is said to have passed this law to help in the controlling of its population, among other things.

However, intentionally or not, laws are broken and this would beg the questions, “What would happen when someone breaks this law?  Indeed, who would suffer the most, the children or the parents and what would become of the children?”
Well, orphanages are one of the places in which the children are placed, and according to Yang Li Bing, a fourth-seven-year-old father in China, even when citizens are obeying this birth control law, their children could still be taken away from them.  He stated that this is what had happened to him in 2004. 
If you are thinking that the authorities had made a terrible mistake and have since apologized and returned the child, this is not the case.  He was told that his child was adopted by a family in America.
Was this an illegal adoption, due to kidnapping?  What should we make of this?

Ethiopia – It’s 2012 in 2019

The Ethiopian Calendar is different from the Gregorian Calendar and the latter is what most of the world goes by.   The Ethiopian Calendar has thirteen months in a year, while the Gregorian one has twelve months.   Currently, the year in Ethiopia is 2012.   The following links may be helpful in shedding more light on this.

Brazil – Home of the most “Uncontacted People”

I really don’t know the reason why. However, whenever I hear about an uncontacted group of people living in the forested area, my mind is always blown.  There are so many questions that run through my mind about them. Nevertheless, this is not about me. It is about Brazil, and in this country’s forested areas, there are about 100 tribes or groups of people living there.  Brazilian National Indian Foundation is responsible for their care from the outside world.    Note https://www.survivalinternational.org/tribes/uncontacted-brazil https://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/rio-politics/brazils-funai-calls-army-to-help-protect-isolated-indigenous-tribes/
