What You Need To Know About China Adoption
We all know about China's population problem. Most of us are horrified at the Chinese one-child policy.
China, in 1979, implemented the policy restricting the number of children a family can have to just one child.
Unfortunately, a lot of controversies have stemmed from this policy. The Chinese people have been accused of doing everything from abortions to cannibalism in the wake of this government policy.
Also stemming from this policy is the ever-increasing incident of parents abandoning young daughters.
In China, sons are more valued, as tradition holds sons as the heirs of a bloodline.
However, you should know that the one-child-policy is no longer enforced in some places. This does not significantly affect, however, the number of daughters abandoned each year.
One solution the Chinese government has developed is the china adoption program.
While most countries would be difficult to deal with in cases of international adoption, the China adoption program has made a very clear-cut and easy to follow roads in these international adoption cases.
The government has specifically formed different agencies in order to help out with the China adoption program.
Some other countries have opened such similar adoption programs only to shut them down because of some problems. However, the China adoption program has been continually operating ever since 1996.
In China adoptions, there are some requirements that potential parents must fulfill in order to be considered eligible.
First of all, China adoptions work with parents at least 30 years and not more than 60 years old at the time of the adoption.
Parents who are 45-50 years old can adopt children who are 1-3 years old, while children 4 years or older may be adopted by couples 51-55 years of age.
You also need a basic income of 10 thousand dollars annually plus an additional annual income of 10 thousand dollars for every person in the family, including the child.
China adoptions also require that the couple be married for at least six months and have lived together.
If you already have 4 children, you will need to contact a China adoption services agency in order to determine whether or not you will be allowed to adopt yet another child.
If you have already adopted a child from China, you would have to wait a year before you can be considered eligible for another adoption.
If you have a birthed child, though, you will have to wait until he/she is six months old until you can submit an application for China adoptions.
If the parent is single, China adoptions usually work with single women 30 years of age.
If you are, in fact, single, you need to be certified a heterosexual. If you are living with a housemate, you need to complete a home study that describes your relationship with the housemate in detail.
You need to certify that the housemate is heterosexual. China adoptions also require that the housemate present different documents such as a medical examination and police clearance.
The China adoption program, of course, depends upon the number of children available. You need to contact an agency in order to make your China adoption a bit easier.
The china adoption agency can make things easier for you by becoming your contact to the China adoption program. There's some travel required in China adoptions, and a agencies can help you maximize your usage of that time.
