As she braces for deportation to China, single mom Hong Zhang was offered more than a dozen homes yesterday for her year-old daughter.
Through her immigration consultant and the Sun, callers offered homes for Canadian-born Sherry.
Oshawa mom Jessie Beczenleitner said if they can adopt Sherry, she and her husband would sponsor Zhang.
Maureen Johnston, a retired army major, said if Zhang "can stay, we would hire her as a housekeeper."
She and husband Ken Smith, a millwright, run Cannington Horse Rescue in that farm community, where they have 25 acres, 12 horses, two kids and six bedrooms.
Johnston, 49, who said they were approved years ago as block parents in Durham, have a $100,000-plus income. "We don't have records, we don't smoke and we don't drink much," she said.
SECOND CHILD
Stefanie Antunes said she and architect husband Joel Gallant want a second child.
The Whitby couple have a 760-square metre house "and my husband and I are at a stage in our lives where we're doing very well," she said.
Consultant Roy Kellogg said he doesn't reject such offers, but must be wary of motives.
"Who are these people? Why do they want this child?" the former Immigration Canada officer said.
Zhang, 39, emphatically opposes giving up Sherry.
"I just want to be with her when she grows up," the native of Fuijian province said.
"I don't want to have her adopted, she is my only child," Zhang, a baker denied refugee status and required to report for deportation Wednesday, said. "I would go crazy."
OFFERED MARRIAGE
Kellogg said men offered marriage, which would have helped sponsor her months ago, but they were unknowns and "she has too much class."
Children's Aid told Zhang on Friday they will not accept her request to make Sherry a ward and she would be classed for adoption as an abandoned child if left.
Zhang wants her daughter, as a citizen, to help her return after she turns 18 in 2024, Kellogg said, adding adoption or guardianship would prevent any sponsorship.
After 10 years here, during which the man who fathered Sherry vanished after Zhang became pregnant, she faces a $140,000 fine for returning to China with a child. As second-class, the toddler would not be given Chinese citizenship and faces $17,000 for schooling.
A Children's Aid spokesman said wardship requires child protection issues.
The Canada Border Services Agency said Zhang must leave after exhausting all avenues to stay in Canada, but Kellogg said his application on compassionate grounds in October "hasn't even been opened."
