In order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of
the persons involved in the adoption, the China Center of Adoption
Affairs (CCAA) has formulated measures for receiving application
documents for adoption submitted by the adoption organizations
in the year 2002 (December 1, 2001 to November 30, 2002). Now
we would like to inform you of the relevant items:
Explanation of the measures for receiving
application documents for adoption submitted by adoption organizations
in the year 2002:
At present, the number of foreign application documents for adoption
has increased on a large scale, causing the CCAA's time frame
for processing the application documents for adoption to become
longer and longer, and as a result, the relevant documents for
adoption by some foreign adoptive families have expired and ceased
to be effective. For this, the adopters and the adoption organizations
have urgently put forward the request to shorten the time for
examining and approving the applications and reduce their waiting
anxiety. In order to appropriately resolve the problem mentioned
above, the CCAA has decided to accept the measures for checking
and ratifying the quantity in receiving application documents
for adoption, so as the ensure that the foreign-related adoption
work can be developed healthily, orderly and steadily.
The measures for receiving the application
documents for adoption in the year 2002
We will take the actual amount of adoptions by each adoption
organization in the past three years-1998, 1999, and 2000-as
the base to work out the annual average adoption amount, whereby
we can check and ratify the number of application documents for
adoptions each organization may submit in the year 2002. If the
number of application documents for adoption submitted by the
adoption organization exceeds our checked and ratified number,
we will return the excessive documents.
Requirements
(1) To make investigation on the adoptive
families in all seriousness and ensure the quality of the application
documents for adoption:
The adoption organizations should carry out investigation on
and run training courses for the adoptive families in all seriousness
and take everything for the children to heart as the point of
departure to select the families best suited to the growth of
the Chinese children and protect the legitimate rights and interests
of the Chinese adopted children. In the preparation of the application
documents for adoption, the spirit of standardizing the application
documents for adoption, as advocated by the CCAA, should continue
to be carried through conscientiously so that the quality of
the application documents for adoption can be ensured. Of the
checked and ratified application documents for adoption, the
number of single families should not exceed 5%.
(2) To carry out the work of post-placement
reports conscientiously:
The carrying out of the work of post-placement reports constitutes
one of the important yardsticks on our evaluation of the working
capability and level on the part of the adoption organizations.
You are kindly requested to check earnestly whether the post-placement
reports on the children in 1999 and 2000 have all already been
submitted to the CCAA, and submit the undelivered post-placement
reports before March 21, 2002. The CCAA will suspend the reception
of the application documents for adoption submitted by the adoption
organizations which have not completed the work of post-placement
reports after the deadline.
