China ADOPTION

                                                    

Children's Hope International is a highly respected and experienced China adoption agency with deep roots in China 
since 1982. We were first organized as Children's Hope International / China's Children adoption.  Because we were 
one of the first agencies to begin China adoption, we were often known in the beginning as China's Children.  We are 
grateful for the trust that thousands of families have put in CHI and for their China Adoption.

China Adoption is a strong program of Children's Hope International.  As one of the first international agencies to begin
 China adoption, we place more Chinese children  from China than any other country.

An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread 
may stretch or tangle, but will never break."
--An ancient Chinese belief
 

LICENSED AND ACCREDITED:  We are a full service, licensed, not-for-profit adoption and humanitarian agency, accredited by the COA
 and well organized in each country where we assist families in adopting. Our work is based on relationships that have been established
 for many years throughout the world.  We are accredited by the Council on Accreditation, which is the highest level possible for a placement agency.
