China is one of Bethany's most popular programs. Here are some reasons why:
- More than a billion people live in China - making it the most populated country on earth.
- Many children are living in orphanages and may grow up without a permanent family.
- Our experienced staff are ready to guide adoptive parents through the steps required to complete an adoption through China
 Why China?
- Children are referred through the China Center of Adoption Affairs in Beijing. CCAA has developed a well-organized and predictable system.
- Both older couples and single mothers are eligible to adopt.
- Bethany will expedite your paperwork to ensure the soonest possible placement.
- Warm and nurturing care has been given to the children in the orphanages.
- Parents who adopt children from China have the opportunity to learn and teach their children about an enduring, extraordinary culture.
- Parents experience the beauty and splendor of China as they make the trip of a lifetime to meet and escort their child home.
- A Chinese/English speaking guide will accompany you during your stay in China.
