In 1990, WACAP placed a Chinese baby girl with an American family living in
Guangdong Province. Since then, WACAP has worked closely with Chinese
government adoption officials, orphanage officials and adoptive families to
build an environment that best meets the needs of everyone involved in
uniting Chinese orphans with American families.
By adhering to the highest ethical standard in international
adoption, we have built a genuine relationship with the Chinese
governmental adoption offices, particularly the China Center of Adoption
Affairs (CCAA). We've had the honor to host four CCAA delegations that
have visited the United States, and most recently, WACAP's CEO was
invited to speak at the CCAA's annual conference. Under the leadership
of our China experts, Mary Moo and Bixin Huang, our China adoption team
will provide the best services in helping to unite your family with a
child in China who is waiting for a loving home. Over the years we’ve
united nearly 1,500 children from China with new parents.
You may apply to adopt either an infant or a child who
has already been referred for adoption and is waiting for parents.
Questions? Here’s how adoption works.
Also, parents share their stories about adopting a child
from China.
Recent changes in Chinese adoption eligibility now prohibit single
parents from adopting Chinese children. If you’re single, we encourage you to consider
one of the other countries that WACAP works with. Currently
singles
may adopt through WACAP’s Russia, India, Kazakhstan, Vietnam,
African-American Infant and US Kids programs.
