REFERRALS

CCCWA (China Center for Children's Welfare and Adoption) posts
available children on their website monthly. In addition, they also
have over 1500 children currently listed, ready for their forever families.

These children are all diagnosed with medical conditions. Some are more
mild than others (ex. congenital heart disease, cleft lip and palate, hepatitis,
vision loss, hearing loss, developmental delays, albinism, limb deformities,
urogenital conditions). Your doctor can explain, and help you decide which
of these conditions your family is able to handle.

EAC does require each family have a doctor identified, prior to receiving
a referral.

We see children 8 months to 12 years old, boys and girls. Most of the
children over 5 years old have already received their surgeries.
