“Revelation of a Lifetime: The Shocking Secret Note Hidden from Their Adopted Daughter for Over 30 Years!”
Access Denied
Rather than coming together, the Pohlers decided that Kati’s birth parents knew enough. They instructed Annie to end communication with them. According to Ruth, she wanted Kati to decide later in life if she wanted to know her biological parents.
Knowing that their daughter was safe but being denied further access to her, Qian and Xu continued with their everyday life. They opened up a second-hand electric appliance store and were able to attain a two-bedroom home for themselves and their daughter.
They Never Gave Up
Despite being denied access to their biological daughter, the couple refused to give up. They went to the bridge every year during the Qixi Festival. Additionally, news about what happened had broken out.
The film crew that had helped Annie find Xu and Qian did a story on the girl, which eventually got around to filmmaker Chang Changfu. Coincidentally, he was set to make a documentary about children who had been adopted from China.
Hope Was Restored
Chang decided to try his own hand at tracking down Kati’s adoptive parents. His determination grew after he met with Kati’s birth parents and discovered how badly they wanted to know their daughter.
After some skillful sleuthing, Chang managed to track down the name Ken Pohler, along with a photo that matched him to the man in another photo Annie had given to Kati’s biological parents. He was able to get into touch with the Pohlers but, once again, the couple declined any involvement on behalf of Kati.
