[quote=SHADOWMAN,257055]To MICKKINCHINA, CARLOS, or ROGERINCA: When you married your lao po, were you expected to provide a financial "gift" for the parents of your spouse? I have read that a gift to the woman's parents is part of the custom, but I'm wondering exactly what/how much money this entails. Also, to what extent are you expected to "assist" your lao po's family financially? I'm tentatively planning to marry my lao po in January. We met in person in August and I spent several days with her in September and November. While I'm about 90% sure her intentions are genuine, there's still an element of doubt. Does she only want a US Visa? Financial support for her family? Or a father for her future children? Are these concerns that any of you have faced? I am comfortable financially, but by no means rich. I'm concerned that Chinese women may see all Americans as "rich"... and when she realizes that I can't afford to buy her parents a house, perhaps her so called "love" for me will vanish. Are these concerns valid, or am I just getting a case of "cold feet"? Any advice is greatly appreciated.[/quote]
