Research-China.Org || China Adoptive Children's Finding Ads, Birth Parent Search Analysis, Photos, DVDs, Data Books, Orphanage Information, Maps, Blogs, and more

The premiere organization for obtaining information about your child's history and birthplace.

With our more than 10 years of experience gathering information, statistics, and insight into China adoptions, we offer an Orphanage Reliability Analysis to help determine the accuracy of your child's orphanage information and a Birth Parent Search Analysis to help you decide whether or not to pursue a search for your child.

Orphanages

We offer a good starting point of basic information about China's orphanages for adoptive families who want to learn more about their child's birthplace. We've started with pages for Guangdong, Jiangxi and Chongqing Provinces. We welcome contributions!

Finding Ads

The finding ads published by the orphanages in China are an important part of our children's lives. Go to our Finding Ads section to see if we might have your child's finding ad.

Photos & DVDs

The impressive collection of photos and movies we have gathered of orphanage cities in China include scenes of various finding locations, government offices and main attractions, as well as cultural and scenic highlights. See if we have your child's birth city either in photos or on a DVD.

After several years of researching and writing, my article, Open Secret: Cash & Coercion in China's IA Program, is available for free download. The article is also available in the current Cumberland Law Review 44.3 (2014): 355-422. This article presents the most in-depth research that has been done to date on China's adoption program, detailing episodes of ethical and legal breaches by orphanages, international response to these episodes, and the actions taken by the Chinese government to mitigate international fallout. It is quite simply the most detailed study ever undertaken. Click here to go to blog.
