Learn Basic China Adoption Procedures

China adoption procedures are very complex. We have designed our website to give you the basic information you need to start your adoption search. In addition, we have full-time staff at our office in St. Louis and a dedicated staff in China. These knowledgeable guides will arrange all your travel in China and be by your side every step of the way.

There's much to do before you prepare to travel, however. Your dossier must include such items as a financial statement, a letter from your doctor certifying your good health, marriage certificate, birth certificates, and more. You must complete parenting classes and a home study. You must secure a visa to enter China and visas for any Chinese children who will return with you. All documents must be authenticated and all adult members of your family must be fingerprinted by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. The costs associated with these procedures and more are set forth in our schedule of fees.

These China adoption procedures are arduous, but the time, money and effort required will be well rewarded when you welcome your new son or daughter into your home. We're proud to be of help.
