international adoptions from China to the U.S. have dropped by 50 percent, according to the U.S. State Department. The new regulations (adoped by china) require, among other things, that adoptive parents be married, not classified as clinically obese, under 50, not have taken antidepressant medications in the past two years, not have facial deformities and meet certain educational and economic requirements. In 2005, American citizens adopted 7,906 children through the state-run China Center for Adoption Affairs (CCAA). In 2008, that number fell to 3,909 kids
I think if a glass eye does not match the good eye, it's justifiable to reject someone.
@dyslexia,
New Rule: If you adopt a chinese child, you must also adopt the child's mother and father. It's a crime to separate a family.

Well, hopefully domestic adoptions will go up now. I never understood why
one has to go to China to adopt, while there are so many kids in the USA waiting for a good home.
