Chinese Children Adoption International

Well friends, we finally choose an agency!  Lots of considerations went into this decision.

A couple months ago I was out and about I had run into a family who had adopted from Ethiopia and was also in process of adopting a healthy child from China (which takes approximately 5-7 years).  I had asked them lots of questions and just tucked away the information. 

A few weeks ago we had finally narrowed down our options to two agencies. On the night we were trying to make a decision, I asked Josh, “Have you looked up CCAI?” Neither of us had.   Josh spent an hour or so scouring their website and then went out on the porch to call them.  He was on the phone for about 90 minutes and when he walked back in the front door he said with a big grin, “I really like them!”  The very next day, we received a huge package in the mail with tons of information from CCAI.   We were so excited.  We had a date night planned to discuss adoption stuff and spent the whole evening pouring over the information, watching a video, and praying about our decision.  By the time we got home that evening we were convinced this was the agency for us!

Here are just a few of the many reasons why we choose CCAI (Chinese Children Adoption International):

·      On July 1, 2012 CCAI celebrated placing 10,000 Chinese orphans in loving homes since 1994!  They are currently placing approximately two children into loving homes every day!  In regards to Chinese adoptions, they are the most experienced agency in the U.S. and continue to maintain an excellent reputation.

·      The China Center for Children’s Welfare and Adoption (CCCWA), which holds the highest authority in China for international adoptions, has ranked CCAI as the #1 agency out of 178 agencies they work with to place children in homes all over the world!

·      CCAI has placed over 2,000 children with special needs!  This number is growing drastically!

·      Joshua and Lily Zhong, the founders of CCAI, are Christians who understand the call to care for orphans.  They adopted two children of their own and began CCAI because of their passion and theology.

·      The staff that we have already spoken with is extremely friendly and helpful.  They have been answering all our questions, referring us to information on their website, sending us printed forms, and even referring us to over 30 couples living near us who have completed the adoption process through their agency.
