Adopt from China

Medical Reports

The Chinese adoption agency, CCAA, will mail us its determination on your adoption status after

• you have completed your document collection,

• A Helping Hand has submitted your dossier, and

• the CCAA has made its decision regarding the placement of a Chinese child in your home (the Chinese conduct an independent review of your home study).

If the CCAA agrees to allow you to adopt a child, it will also mail a picture of the child and a brief medical summary in Chinese and English. This is called the referral.

You may take the translated medical report to your doctor for consultation so that you can make a decision about whether you want to accept the child. You need to know that these reports are prepared according to Chinese medical standards that are generally less sophisticated than U.S. standards. Prospective parents must factor this reality into their decision making process before starting the process.
