Foreign adopters coming to China for adoption, when going
through matters relating to adoption in China should pay service
fee to the China Center of Adoption Affairs; registration fee to
the registration organ; service fees to passport and
notarization.
In accordance with the stipulations set forth in the
Registration Measures for Adoption of Children by Foreigners in the
People's Republic of China, for the purpose of providing for the
abandoned infants and children living in the social welfare
institutes, the State encourages foreign adopters and foreign
adoption organizations to make donations to the social welfare
institutes. The social welfare institutes which accept donations
could reach agreement with the donors, specifying the property
descriptions, their quality, quantity and uses. After having
received the donations, the social welfare institutes should write
out legal and valid receipts for the donors. All the donations must
be used to improve the nurturing conditions for the abandoned
infants and children reared by the social welfare institutes and
must not be misappropriated for other purposes. The social welfare
institutes accepting donations should inform the donors of the use
of the donations, both financial and material. They should also
subject themselves to the supervision of the departments concerned
and make public the use of the donations.
