CNN Reports Fewer Children Adopted Out of China

It was bound to happen, the proverbial 'closing of the door,' and we knew that when it happened, many countless couples hoping and wishing for a child - whether to add to an existing family or simply to have their first - this would be a disappointment.

CNN correspondent, Emily Chang, hits the nail squarely on the head with, Finding a home: Fewer children up for adoption in China. Apparently the changing attitude in China toward domestic adoptions, coupled with an increasing number of foreign applications has done much to dwindle the availability of adoptable children.

"Zhang estimates that there are 30,000 international applications waiting to be processed in China. These days, the wait can be up to five years," according to Chang.
