• Mar. 14, 2007 - China's Stricter Adoption Policy

Posted in Adoption

China's new adoption policy will begin on May 1. Policy changes include not allowing foreigners who are unmarried, over 50, or obese, to adopt.

I'm just wondering out loud here, but how do the Chinese define obese? All the people I know who have adopted a child from China in the past weren't in danger of being called bean poles.

The article also includes this interesting tidbit: China's 573,000 orphans "enjoy the protection of the government,"

Really? Enjoy? How many of them are orphans because of the government?

Korea already has a policy where you can't be more than 30% overweight. So my hubby who is a little over 6'2" would have to lose some weight. And he only weighs 230 (-ish).

We've been praying about adopting from China for some time now... I wonder what God has planned for us!

Love,
Marsha

That does sound terribly ironic. What exactly is there to enjoy about being an orphan in China? That nation has been on my heart a great deal lately.

Tia, you might have mentioned this somewhere else in your blog, but have you adopted or are only doing foster care?

You would think that these countries would make adoption easier, not harder. Romania doesn't do any foreign adoptions now. I think there was too much corruption involved.

The politically incorrect ramblings of a sage rat den mother. As well as thoughts on adoption, special needs children, and My Lord and Savior.

About the turtle: Tia Turtle is a character in a new book by Gena Suarez, "And Then Mama Said...It Takes Time to Learn to Read." Kevin Collier is the illustrator and he made me my special avatar, because yes, Tia Turtle is named after Me! (Okay, so I'm bragging. Leave me a correctional comment in love.)
