Children
: The children
available in China are usually
infant girls. The children
are generally healthy and
are of asian descent.
Requirements
: Married couples
only may apply. Parents
must be at least 30 years
old and no older than 50.
Applicants must be married
for at least 2 years. If
divorced, you must be married
for at least 4 years. Applicants
with criminal records, or
who have taken anti-anxiety
medications in past 2 years,
or who have more than 2
divorces per couple will
not be accepted.
Adoption
Process : Families
must complete a dossier
to submit to the authorities
in China. A referral of
a child is made approximately
15 - 18 months following
submission of the dossier.
Once a match has been made,
parents may travel in approximately
8 weeks.
Travel : One or both parents may travel to China. The trip is approximately 2 weeks.
Timeframe
: The process typically
takes 24-30 months from
start to finish. This is
due to the large number
of applications to China.
New requirements have been
made by the CCAA to limit
the number of applications.
China is still the most
stable and reliable adoption
program. As requirements
are implemented, the wait
times will start to decrease.
