Bridge of Hope Hosting Program

Host a Chinese orphan in Winter 2020

Cradle of Hope is one of a very few adoption agencies that are organizing hosting programs for Chinese orphans this year. China’s adoption authority, the CCCWA, is selecting children, ages 4 – 12, for participation in the program. The children will arrive in Washington DC for a two week visit in January 2020.

Host Family Eligibility:

Host families should have a strong interest in adopting a Chinese orphan. You must be at least 30, no more than 50 years older than the child, and have 5 or
fewer children already in your home. You should be in reasonably good health, financially secure, and meet China’s criteria re: weight, income, net worth, and length of marriage.

Available Children:

The children nominated for the 2020 Bridge of Hope program are featured on our Waiting Children page https://cradlehope.org/waiting-children/.  There are boys and girls, ages 4 to 12, with diagnoses including short stature, cerebral palsy, anemia, Down syndrome, post-operative congenital heart defect, post-operative spina bifida, developmental delay, and older but healthy children.

HOST A CHINESE ORPHAN IN 2019!

Program Requirements:

Host families must pick up and deliver the child to the Washington DC area. They will be expected to provide a safe, fun and educational visit for a Chinese orphan. Some families may also be asked to host the escorts who accompany the group to the US for a few days. Host families must have a home safety visit and report by a licensed social worker in their state, as well as criminal and child abuse records checks. Families with current, full homestudies completed by a Hague-accredited adoption agency will be better able to move forward with the adoption of the child they host.

Hosting Period:

The exact dates of travel are not yet established but we are planning for the children to visit in January 2020.
