"Over the past two years, I have personally witnessed the loving care provided by Tim Baker and the entire team at the Langfang Children's Village. The Philip Hayden Foundation's four steps to providing hope "intervention, foster care, surgery and adoption" has provided hope to countless orphans in China. This new project, Shepherd's Field Children's Village, will be a "Field of Dreams" providing a home to special needs children. I hope everyone can support this project." Kenneth Yata

Adopt A Chinese Orphan

Why Adopt From China? China has a model adoption program which has been specifically praised by the U.S. Congress. In addition to having a large source of healthy infants, adoptions from China are often less expensive than from other countries, and the process is much more predictable and stable.

 
Can you Recommend an Adoption Agency? There are many excellent and qualified adoption agencies that we have worked with over the years. Please contact us at adoption@chinaorphans.org for more information.  
How Long Does The Process Take? It is hard to predict with any certainty how much time is required to complete an adoption in China, but recently, adoptions were taking approximately 12 to 14 months from the time the U.S. adoption agency submitted the paperwork to CCAA.
