What makes a family eligible or ineligible to adopt?
The following page will outline what the CCAA expects of a married couple wanting to adopt a child from China. Due to China's new Eligibility Requirements, Great Wall China Adoption will not accept any single applications at this time. If China's policy changes in the future, we will make the information available on our site.
The CCAA and Great Wall China Adoption have developed a strong relationship which allows Great Wall to work with families who have eligibility concerns on a case-by-case basis. If you have any questions about the eligibility requirements, please contact Great Wall Headquarters in Austin for a case-by-case review before submitting an application. Note however, that we cannot guarantee that case-by-case reviews will ensure your application is approved as anything not disclosed during the review may cause an application to be declined at a later date.
Approval by the CCAA may be effected by one or more of the following including, but not limited to: previous marriages, criminal history, medications, medical conditions, substance abuse, financial instability, negative net worth, disability payments, retirement, spiritual beliefs prohibiting medical treatment, domestic violence, child abuse and/or neglect, and/or placing a child up for adoption. Eligibility requirements are subject to change by the CCAA without grandfathering previous standards.
