China bans obese, disabled people from adopting
Topic: Society 12:30 pm EST, Dec 20, 2006

Considering it cost about 24k to adopt, and that a lot of that money goes to the Chinese orphanages and economy, perhaps Americans on antidepressants, disabled and obese americans will go elsewhere to adopt.

Just another reason I hate China...

It seems to me that these latest proposed rules are aimed primarily AT westerners.

China, the most popular foreign country for U.S. adoptions, is considering new rules that could disqualify thousands of would-be parents.

Those new rules would bar people who are single, obese, over 50 years old, or currently taking psychiatric medications from adopting Chinese children, according to several U.S. adoption agencies that have seen the regulations. They would ban disabled people and families with net assets of less than $80,000. And they would set new minimums on length of marriage for couples seeking to adopt. The China Center of Adoption Affairs confirmed that it is considering new adoption criteria while declining to discuss them in detail.
