The Great Wall East Meets West bi-annual adoption conferences are the only national conferences dedicated exclusively to Chinese adoption. Our day long conferences are intended for all parents adopting from China as well as parents who are just thinking about adopting from China. East Meets West is designed to help families navigate China’s International adoption program in a well-organized and educated manner. EMW immerses a family into all levels of prospective of the China adoption experience as people from all phases of adoption are present. The conferences provide workshops and lectures by adoption professionals, leading researchers, physicians and attorneys specializing in International adoption as well as the prospective of actual Chinese orphanage directors. Workshop topics have included bonding and attachment, assembling your dossier, the health of Chinese children, re-adoption and adoption tax benefits. Families have found East Meets West to be a wealth of information that has benefited and empowered them throughout their adoption.
