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?

They are not useless white marks on the streets! As time goes by, this situation is becoming worst, and it is more trying during the winter seasons when snow floats from the heavens like cotton candy and covers trees, rooftops, roads and everything in its path. Imagine standing in freshly fallen snow for ten minutes at an intersection with children, and one or two of them are in a stroller! How much do you like that? True, one or two drivers can miss average the gap, but come on, every time that the traffic light changes? Pedestrians are not beggars at the side of the road, asking drivers to show them mercy by allowing them to get to the other sid...
