Q
Trouw: According to the US Department of State, the PRC Ministry of Civil Affairs has notified the American government that since August 28, civil affairs departments across China will no longer carry out foreign adoption work. Could you confirm the stop? And if so, could you elaborate on it?
Mao Ning: The Chinese government has adjusted its cross-boarder adoption policy. Henceafter, apart from the adoption of a child or stepchild from one’s collateral relatives by blood of the same generation and up to the third degree of kinship by foreigners coming to China, China will not send children abroad for adoption. This is also in line with the spirit of relevant international covenants. We express our appreciation to those foreign governments and families, who wish to adopt Chinese children, for their good intention and the love and kindness they have shown. For more specifics, I’d refer you to competent authorities.

Q
Trouw: We have seen a surge of adoptees coming back to China hoping to find their birth families. Will the stop of the adoption program in any way influence their attempts to visit China to view their files？
Mao Ning: I would refer you to competent authorities for answers to those specific questions. There are sound communication channels on this issue.
