New Homeland/CCAA Program in Changzhou and Wuxi Orphanages!  XINGFU(Happiness)!*

 In cooperation with the CCAA and the Changzhou Orphanage and Wuxi Orphanages in Jiangsu Province, Homeland is proud to have been selected to begin a new program in June, 2007, to place waiting children from these intstitutes.  We are very happy to have the opportunity to set a new standard in the placement of waiting children, and the care of the children who will remain in the orphanage. Please contact us is you are interested in adopting through our new program!

We  have unprecedented access to the children, and are able to provide detailed medical and social reports about the children, including videos.  Families who are already Homeland clients or who send an application indicating the sex, age range and type of needs they would consider will be matched in order before the files are shared with the public.

 Waiting children can be adopted by qualified married couples up to age 55.

Adoptions through this new pilot program are expedited at the China Center of Adoption Affairs more than in the regular Waiting Child Program. Prospective parents must be pre approved at CCAA, then submit a complete dossier of documents for review before receiving permission to travel.  Prospective parents with a dossier already being reviewed at CCAA through Homeland may opt to switch to the Waiting Child program and they will be considered according to the pre May 1 guidelines.

The children whose files we have previewd have been predominantly young.  Some are under a year, a good number are under two, and many under three years of age.  There are boys as well as girls, and the needs include premature birth, cleft lip/palate, limb differences, heart disease, repaired and unrepaired, albinism, hearing loss, vitiligo, hypospadis, Hep B positive, and others.

The Homeland directors spent July, 2007 in China meeting with CCAA officials, Civil Affairs officials and orphanage directors and spending some time with the little ones we hope to place with families here in the U.S.

Please request an info pack if you are considering adopting a little one who needs a little extra!

* What does XINGFU mean?  Xingfu literally translates as "blessed" or, "happiness".  Wherever we travel in China with our big girls, who were adopted from China when they were small, the grandmas gather and say, "Xingfu"!
