We are only accepting married couples at this time for our China program. To adopt "healthy" infants, China has a preference for prospective adoptive parents to be between the ages of 30 and 50, with a combined age for couples that does not exceed 100. Prospective parents who do not meet these criteria will be considered for either a child two years or older, or an infant with medically correctable conditions such as malnutrition, low birth weight, club foot, cleft palate, etc. |
| Available Children: | Infants, toddlers, older children, and children with special needs are available; the vast majority of the infants are female. There are no sibling groups available, and only one child may be adopted except in the case of twins. | |
| Adoption Timetable: | The first step is submit the dossier. The waiting time for a referral is 12 to 13 months. Travel is 4 to 6 weeks later. | |
| Method of Referral: | Children are assigned by the China Adoption Center based on the adoptive parent(s) request in their dossier. The referral consists of a photograph and medical report on the child. If, upon meeting the child in China, the adoptive parent(s) do not accept the child, it is possible to select and adopt a different child while there. | |
