Watching the film led me to ask more questions regarding some of the actions in the film, more so than the love story. I saw connection to what Professor Yan discussed as the change to individualism, and how the character in "Finding Mr. Right" is consumed by consumerism. I am curious about the "safe house" that she lived in which was more like a home for Chinese birthing mothers. Do homes like this exist in Seattle or in other parts of the United States? In the fictional film, the female character comes to the U.S. on a six month tourist visa, but she lives in a home for expecting mothers. The USA Today article "Chinese Flock to USA to Give Birth to U.S. Citizens," states that birth tourism is a legal business in China, and that there are birthing houses in the U.S.
