Reporter: How much money can you make every month? How much money do the children cost you?
Yuan: I'm illiterate and don't know exactly how much I can earn. But I spend all the money that I earn on them. In addition, I had to ask for some help from others and the government. They would have died if I hadn't adopted them because they are disabled and no one wanted them.
Reporter: Did you go through an official process of adoption or did you just bring children home when you felt they were poor?
Yuan: They are all disabled. Nobody wanted them. They would have died if I hadn't adopted them.
Reporter: Were you willing to send them to a welfare home?
Yuan: They were in a welfare home for several days. I'm in a mess.
Yuan: I preferred to do this gradually. I wanted to choose relatively good welfare homes for them.
Reporter: It is said that you were profiting by adopting these children.
Yuan: Shoot me dead if I'm a trafficker.
Reporter: Why didn't you send some of them to the government welfare home?
Yuan: They hadn't established one in the past (in Lancao county).
Reporter: What was your hardest time since you started the orphanage?
Yuan: One year when we were starving, then I sent them to Kaifeng city where they could live better.
Reporter: What were the authorities' attitudes to your adoptions? Have they communicated with you?
Yuan: They were helpful.
Reporter: How?
Yuan: They offered them living allowances and registered their hukou, residential permits.
Reporter: How many of them have hukou here?
Yuan: More than 20.
Reporter: Are the allowances enough?
Yuan: Absolutely not. The children cost a lot, including milk powder and diapers. The government has offered allowances in recent years.
