Many of you have heard that China plans on using stricter guidelines in approving people who want to adopt from China. From what I've heard, the China Center of Adoption Affairs has so many dossiers and only a limited number of "available/paper-ready" children.
And then you may have also heard that there's been a decline in the number of children adopted from China in 2006. So, what gives?
Adoption from any country is a complicated process. In China today, it's a process that appears to be influenced by the number of orphans who are "available/paper-ready" (those in orphanages that have been approved for international adoption) as well as the number of people who are applying or have been approved to adopt and how fast CCAA staff can work through all the complicated pieces of the complicated process.
