Listing
of the known directoriesThese
are on-paper directories. In some cases, additional forms of listing
and/or communication are operated by adoptive families, such as
e-mail lists and webpages, but an e-mail list or webpage never
fills the role of an inclusive private directory, because either
privacy concerns or limited Internet access (or both) effectively
exclude some families.
Directories of China-adoptive families are often specific for one city or province. The directories differ somewhat in what information they catalog, how often revisions are published, how costs are handled, and in policies regarding privacy (i.e., how the directory is distributed or to whom). In most if not all cases, copies of the directories are available only to listed families. Compilers of these directories typically see them as being potentially valuable to the children in future years, as well as of interest to parents now.
