Orphan Ministry Leader Hopes Chinese Believers Will Step Up to Care for Most Vulnerable as China Stops International Adoptions
China has announced that it will no longer allow children to be sent overseas for adoption, ending a practice that has been in place for over three decades. The policy change stems from the country’s former strict one-child policy, which led to the international adoption of thousands of children, primarily girls and children with disabilities. The head of a Christian orphan network expressed concerns regarding the future fate of these unwanted children but said he has hope towards believers in China to step up and care of the most vulnerable.
