At this very moment hundreds of referrals are ready for adoption and waiting for
their forever family. Because of these precious children, we would like to
make your family aware of the option to adopt a child through the China Waiting
Children Program. Over the years, America World has been honored to place hundreds
of boys and girls with their forever families.
The referrals of boys and girls can range in age from 6 months to 13 years old.
According to adoption laws in China, a child must be adopted prior to their 14th
birthday. The special needs that are typically seen are the cleft lip/palate, heart
defect, club foot, hearing or vision problems, hand/foot deformity, Hepatitis B
positive, spine deformity, brain conditions or developmental delays. The majority
of children available through this program have a medically correctable special need
and many children receive surgeries in China. Healthy children over the age of 6
years are also available for adoption.
Hundreds of new referrals of boy and girls of all ages are received every month through a
shared referral system for agencies to access. Families currently enrolled in the
America World China Program can complete a waiting children application to become
eligible to be matched with a referral. Prospective families are invited to learn
more about the program by visiting the FAQ
page or call or email the America World
office to speak to a China Family Coordinator. Families are also invited to speak to
any of our references who have adopted
through this program. The blog
also highlights information regarding referrals matched by America World each month,
general program updates and family testimonies.

Families viewing the website must adhere to America World’s confidentiality policy, which restricts families from sharing a child’s information or the password with other individuals. Thank you for taking these steps toward protecting all waiting children!:
