变性美女结婚？收养孩子？Adopt_生活Life
a trans-sexual who hit the headlines after getting married in a grand ceremony last year is in the news again for trying to adopt a child.
zhang shan (not her real name) has created a storm of controversy as to whether it is appropriate for her and her husband to bring up a child.
the 37-year-old, who had a sex change a year ago saying she was living a lie as a man, has filed an application in lin'an, in zhejiang province.
china's law says couples may adopt children if they are aged 30 or above, are healthy and do not have a history of disease within their family, have "parental ability" and no other child.
zhang shan, who works as a maid at a beauty parlour in lin'an, meets all the criteria. her family has an income of 2,500 yuan (us$ 300) a month.
but there is currently no law that clearly states whether it is legal for trans-sexual people to adopt children.
