chris27292729: I was paying since my son was 2,5 years old, till he was 13,when he moved with me.i asked the reverse(been paid)without going to court,and her answer was a flat "no you must be joking".
Now, that is wrong.
Every absent parent should make a contribution, obviously according to their means.
I think that what some of the OP's detractors forget is that the she is only 26 and not 46. How many can honestly say they did not make mistakes when young while in the pursuit for a lasting relationship? We also know little about her upbringing and motives for her actions at a younger age. What seems to be important to me is that she recognizes the results of her past and wants to both face her actions and deal the best way she can with the dilemma she now faces. I salute the op for seeking whatever positive advice she can get. She is not just burying her head in the sand.
chris27292729: I had the means to support my son,and going to court to claimed maintenance,i wasn't prepared to lower myself to her level,besides we moved to Greece within a year,since my son moved in with me.-So problem solved.-My motto is. Creating a life,you have to support it emotionally for the rest of your life and financially,even as adults,if don't have the means.-
joyaepace: More so in China, there may be no social welfare or insignificant, and the child may starve actually. Or at least be disadvantaged comparing to those who are supported by both parents. Actually, you don't need to be in China, most of children anywhere would be disadvantaged with only support of the mother.
I do agree with joyaepace. China is quite different from western countries. The Belgian man would never come back to her.She has no choice.
Thanks for everyone here who gave advises and comments.
I think people misunderstand me here.he hasnt walk away yet. and actually I can understand him .cuz 3 months is really too short to make this kind of decision..he just told me that if I would ever keep the baby.he would say goodbye to me.I dont blame him..but the problem is I want the baby.I dont want to kill him.and I dont know what to do to keep this baby...its nothing about him..I wish I could have enough power to keep my baby.take good care of them.about my past mistakes.thats really hard to explian but yes I know it was the biggest mistakes I've ever done in my life.I guess it would never happen again after this time...I really feel sorry.......
joyaepace: I think you are not seeing that it is not about a man and woman as much as it is about the third person, the child, who they made. The child needs support of its parents, not true? Why would you want that your child is starving, while you are enjoying life?
It is really an important point and I agree that a child needs a family and love of both parents.

Try and make an agreement with him to support you and the baby financially.
Judging by Ginger's post he could afford to do that with little impact to himself. Westerners that can afford to go to China in the first place have enough money to take responsibilty for their child in China.
Work out how much you'd need to live comfortably for a month and double it, or triple it. Try to save money for hard times from that.
Its the least he can do. You're not asking for much.

Merriweather: Hi tomcw
Who is likely to know that she is here... ? anyhow,
I hope you are wrong...
Cheers.
Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google, told the Wall Street Journal that Chinese practices reminded him of what Russia was like under Soviet Union commissars.
He said that in the aftermath of the Summer Olympics in 2008, China started clamping down more on web censorship and "interfering" with Google's business.
He said that tracking dissidents and censorship bore all the marks of totalitarianism and that bothered him.
Brin left the Soviet Union in 1979 when he was six - and when the Soviet Union was pursuing a policy of anti-semitism.
Google believed it could open up information in China but after the 2008 Olympics he claimed China told the company it needed extra permits.
He said that when Google discovered a hack attack had as its purpose looking at dissidents' emails, he and the company had had enough.
China is not going to like this. Certainly, China has had a very long history of censoring web sites that don't fit the views of the dictators that run the country. Google knew this well before the 2008 Olympics and it's interesting it casts itself in a Goodie Two Shoes light.
