Gift of Love International Adoptions, Inc. has been working in China since 1994 and has been directly registered with the China Center of Adoption Affairs (CCAA) since it opened in 1996. The CCAA works with Social Welfare Institutes (SWIs) in China to match children with adoptive families.   

Children Available 

Children available for adoption are primarily healthy infant girls, from 8-12-months of age at referral.  The adoption law of The People’s Republic of China allows families to adopt two children only if they are biologically related, meaning twins.  Families may request to adopt a boy; however the wait time for referral is difficult to predict. Referrals are provided to Gift of Love International Adoptions, Inc. by the CCAA. The referral includes photos and social and medical information.

Travel

Travel begins with a transition time upon your arrival in China, in either Beijing or Guilin.  After the transition you will travel to the province where your child resides.  During this time you will work with our Travel Associate to complete the provincial adoption registration procedures and the necessary certificates to finalize the adoption, as well as obtaining your child’s passport.  Once the provincial registration has been completed, you will travel to Guangzhou to complete the US visa medical exam/interview at the US Consulate, prior to returning home.

Post-Adoption

• Mandatory post-Adoption reports by a caseworker at 30-days, 6-months, and 12-months home.
