Agencies: China tightens adoption rules
New restrictions said to bar single, obese, over-50 parents from adopting The changes include the following (taken directly from notes provided by our China coordinator, Anli Ma):
Marriage- it should last 2 years if its the first marriage for both parties; if either party had divorce (no more than 2 times) the current marriage should last 5 years.
Age- 30-50 for normal healthy child; 55 years old for Special Needs child
Healthy- BMI not to exceed 40 for both parties THE DETAILED REQUIREMENT ON HEALTHY STATUS WILL BE SENT TO AGENCY SOON.
Finance- net worth is US$80,000; each member in the family should have US $10,000 annually including the adopted child.
Children at home-no more than 5 children under 18 years old. The youngest child is already 1 year old.
BEIJING - China is imposing new restrictions on foreign adoptions, barring applicants who are unmarried, obese, over 50 or who take antidepressants, according to U.S. adoption agencies. Well you might not agree with it but you have to respect it said one spokesperson from an agency. These rules will apply to new applications although there is still some window of time to get those dossiers in. China wants their children to go to parents who the cream of the crop and will demand such through the CCCA-Chinese Center for Adoption Affairs.
