<\/div>

Yesterday, the\u00a0China Center for Children\u2019s Welfare and Adoption (CCCWA) released new, more stringent eligibility requirements for adoption, effective immediately. These new requirements will have a devastating impact on waiting families as well as orphans expecting to soon go home with families.<\/p>\n

The blog No Hands But Ours<\/a> announced that this decision “will impact many families<\/em> in process or beginning the process to bring home a child through China\u2019s special needs program,” with “a few of the most-impactful changes includ[ing] family size and time between adoptions.”<\/p>\n

Some of the requirements include the following restrictions on family size:<\/p>\n

The PAPs (prospective adoptive parents) should have enough time and energy to take care of the minors in the house including the prospective adoptee. In a couple adoption, the number of minors living in the house of the PAPs should be not more than 5; in a single adoption, the number of minors in the house of the PAPs should be not more than 2.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Also, regarding adoption frequency and numbers:<\/p>\n

1. Adopters should submit post placement reports as required after the adoption; There should be a 1 year interval between the second adoption application and the previous one (from the registration date of the previous adoption to the current adoption application date).<\/p>\n

2. In principle, the PAPs should adopt 1 child from China at a time.<\/p>\n

3. In a couple adoption, if adoptee is a twin or multiple births or have siblings, the adoption will be exempt from the limitation of item 2.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

See the full\u00a0verbatim list of requirements at the No Hands But Ours blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

China’s communist government and Family Planning Commission are known for gross<\/a> human rights violations,<\/a> including\u00a0forced abortions<\/a>. The government recently expanded<\/a> its coercive One-Child Policy to allow for two children in some cases. However, the policy remains coercive and burdensome for women and families. It was also recently revealed<\/a> that the country’s annual estimate of 13 million abortions annually was too low a figure. The actual figure is closer to 23 million per year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
