Beginning this month, we will begin a year-long study of the major Provinces involved in the international adoption program in China. We will look at the orphanage statistics from each orphanage, and discuss anomalies and patterns in each. It should prove to be an interesting and enlightening journey.The first of these installments is now available on our subscription blog. Beginning with this installment on Chongqing, I will be presenting you with an in-depth look at the major Provinces involved in international adoption. We will begin with Chongqing because it is the smallest in terms of orphanages, and will lay the foundation for future Provinces. In the following months we will also look at Guangdong, Guangxi, Hubei, Hunan, and Jiangxi Provinces. Collectively these Provinces contribute the vast majority of all adoptable children in China.

Will these only be available on the subscription blog, or are you including any information on your public blog as well?
ReplyDeleteThanks
At this point they will only be on the subscription blog, but there is a chance we will post them after a year on the open blog. The detail (going into specific orphanage data) requires some sensitivity.

I am interested in getting a subcription to your latest post. We adopted a girl from that province almost 3 years ago :). How do I join?

The subscription blog articles are usually more in-depth, and intended for more mature adoptive families.

"mature adoptive families" what does this mean LOL is there a definition of mature when it comes to adoptive families?
ReplyDeleteThere is. There are some families who, in all honesty, are not interested in knowing all the facts or circumstances relating to their child. Others, usually those who have been home for a while, are more open to explore and learn the background of their child. These families have grown comfortable in their position as adoptive parents and are more willing to confront issues.
ReplyDeleteI consider these parents more mature, in that they are more confident and open to ALL aspects of their child's life.
