  1. Submission Statement:China has officially ended its international adoption program. This decision will affect hundreds of American families who were in the process of adopting children from China. While the Chinese government did not provide a specific reason for the change, it stated that the decision aligns with relevant international conventions.

    The US State Department has expressed concern about the impact this decision will have on American families, many of whom have been waiting years to complete their adoptions. The department is seeking clarification from Chinese authorities regarding the status of pending adoption cases.

    This announcement comes at a time when China is facing a declining population and has implemented various measures to encourage more births. The closure of the international adoption program is likely to have significant implications for both Chinese children and American families seeking to adopt.
