Campaign ManagerJust think of how difficult it must have been for the parents to have to give away their precious daughter because of the policy in their country. There was also a request for anyone who received the letter to meet up with them on the famous Broken Bridge in Hangzhou after 10 or 20 years. However, there were other plans that Kati’s adoptive parents had.
The couple had traveled with Bethany Christian Services to the orphanage all the way to China where they adopted their new daughter. Ken and Ruth did not hesitate to take care of the girl as her adoptive parents. They felt like this was fate and that they were meant to be a family. So do you think they got to know about the letter that Jingzi’s parents wrote?
She’s American Through and Through
Kati then lived with her adoptive parents, the Pohlers, in a quiet town of about 7,000 people. There she was able to experience the classic American lifestyle and upbringing. She would go regularly to the church with her devoutly Christian parents. Kati also competed in sports, learned to play the violin, the piano and had explored the country.
Joining A Liberal Arts University
Kati went on to have a healthy and problem-free life that most American kids get to have. After she finished her high school, Kati then joined Calvin College. This was a liberal arts university and since she had always been interested in giving society something positive Kati decided to take up courses in public health and music.
Never Forgotten
As you can imagine even though Qian and Xu work hard and strive to provide enough for their only daughter, not a day goes by that they don’t think about their other daughter Kati. If you were in their shoes, do you think you would be able to forget about your daughter that you left for adoption? So will they ever get a chance to see their daughter again?
The First Attempt
Since the couple already made a promise to meet their daughter after 10 years, do you think they were able to fulfill this promise? Well, after hoping that the note had fallen into the hands of anyone who has adopted their abandoned daughter, the couple took on a leap of faith. They decided to go to the mentioned location to hopefully get to interact with their long-lost daughter.
Searching High And Low
Qian and Xu made their way to the Broken Bridge on the day of the Qixi Festival which was exactly 10 years after their abandoned daughters birthday. They went to the venue bright and early, looking for anyone that could possibly resemble a young Jingzhi. The couple searched frantically to see if the daughter they had to give up showed up to see them too.
The Broken Bridge That Isn’t Actually Broken
If you are wondering about the decided meeting place for the parents and the daughter, allow us to fill you in. You might be wondering if the rendezvous spot called the Broken Bridge is actually broken or not. Well, it is very much intact and shows no sign of breaking apart any time soon. It is situated in Jingzhi’s birth city Hangzhou, where her biological parents live.
