Many families adopting internationally from China create 100 Good Wishes Quilts, or Bai Jia Bei, for their children. In Mandarin, it’s 百家被, which literally means 100 Family Quilt, or a quilt united by 100 families. The tradition originated in the northern part of China in Tianjin, which sits within China’s Hebei Province, just south of Beijing. This provincial custom involves asking friends and family to contribute a patch of cloth with a wish for the baby. It’s unclear as to whether the wish itself is symbolic or an actual physical note in China; however, the wishes are always written down within the China adoption community.
