New adoption rules in China

There has been all sorts of discussion about this online over the past week or two. The CCAA (the agency in China that controls adoptions) is tightening their adoption rules in May. While this does not affect us, it does affect a whole bunch of people who are in the midst of their six month paperwork process now, as it may make quite a few of them ineligible. Along with more stringent requirements around marriage, health, and income, the biggest change is probably the elimination of the singles program. Here is a link to a story in today's NYTimes that was forwarded to me this morning by a friend. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/20/us/20adopt.html?_r=1&hp&ex=1166590800&en=6e32be4c05222899&ei=5094&partner=homepage&oref=slogin
