The Chinese government plans to end its international adoption program, a decision that devastates hopes for families abroad. Exceptions will only be made for blood relatives.
Since 1992, over 160,000 Chinese children have been adopted internationally, with many being children with disabilities. The decision affects families with pending applications.
Cherish Children Adoption International expressed heartbreak over the policy change, indicating that they were grieving with waiting families and children who were matched abroad.
Following the end of international adoptions, there are still 343,000 orphans in China, highlighting the significant social and emotional impact of this decision.
