China Special Needs Program

China's Centre of Adoption Affairs (CCAA) is increasing focus on the placement of special needs children. Sunrise is able to assist families adopting through the Special Needs Program without using an intermediary agency.

The China Center of Adoption Affairs (CCAA) has announced that single women may once again adopt in China.

Single adoptions, which once comprised over a quarter of all intercountry adoptions in China, will now be allowed for Chinese children with special needs.

The new singles program is specific to finding families for children designated as Special Focus. This designation usually indicates the child has a special need, is pre-school or school age and has been on the shared waiting list for more than 60-days.
