In order to make any headway through the backlog, we are analyzing one Province at a time.

I can also assure you that even with the wait, everyone that has received their report has given it tremendous reviews.<br /><br />BrianResearch-China.Orghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09137919637778021754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15636692.post-6560892416614221442009-05-01T02:53:00.000-07:002009-05-01T02:53:00.000-07:00Hi Brian,

The finding ad you gave us has a very specific, private location--including the name of the family who lives in the house.

What my question is, I looked at the other site where you go to order the report and it is just basically requiring the same information you needed for our finding report.

You are right, services such as "China-Babies" and Bruce Yu pay directors for the information. This creates obvious conflicts.

We have contacts with some orphanages, but not enough to offer such a service. <BR/><BR/>Families often misunderstand what is in their child's orphanage file. It is comprised of xerox copies of all the adoption paperwork filled out by you when the adoption was completed. In addition, there is a copy of the police report. Primary documentation, such as medical files, etc., are kept at the CCAA.<BR/><BR/>The CCAA announced through the Dutch government late last year that it was willing to make their files open to adoptive families. The CCAA "showed to be prepared to accompany children in their request to see their adoption file when in the interest of their personal development." The promise was given to two different governments. Some recent requests from adoptive families, however, have been turned down and denied, contradicting earlier promises. It is impossible to know if these denials are predicated on which orphanage the files originate from, or some other criteria. Perhaps a "Lucky Money" envelope would help.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!!<BR/><BR/>BrianResearch-China.Orghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09137919637778021754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15636692.post-13882274902129101622009-01-27T04:03:00.000-08:002009-01-27T04:03:00.000-08:00BrianJust to clarify, is there a service to have s...Brian<BR/><BR/>Just to clarify, is there a service to have someone access my child's file at an orphanage? - we were unable to travel there in 2007.
