How to adopt a kid from china?

Answer 1

does your sister-in-law know about this master-plan???

Answer 2

Actually, if you are an American or other foreigner it would be impossible for you to adopt a Chinese child that you are related to unless some EXTREME odds were met-you would have to be approved to adopt a child from China (not this child), that child would have to be available for adoption and on a waiting list, and you would have to identify the child before anyone else did.  Even if that were to happen, I believe it would be illegal as China restricts such adoptions of relatives.

No, it would not be easier and yes, it would cost a lot.

Now, you can adopt from China and if your wife is of Chinese descent you could get an expedited adoption.  That means that the process would take a little less time than the average 3 years or so it is taking now.

To adopt from China, you would both have to be atleast 30 years of age, in good health, make atleast $30,000 a year if you have no children in the home or an additional $10,000 a year for each child that is in the home but you can not have any more than four and still adopt.  You have to have a clear criminal background, stable income...it goes on and on.  You have to meet the requirements of both the United States, China AND immigration to adopt internationally.

Hope this helps!
