Great Wall China Adoption’s Waiting Child Program offers families the opportunity to adopt a child with special needs. Often, these children are the most vulnerable and need your love, support, and healing.
The CCCWA has recognized Great Wall China Adoption with the #1 rating among agencies in the US for placing Special Focus children in the Waiting Child program. Learn more about our process, download our Waiting Child Adoption Guide, and request a password to review the files of Waiting Children.
Over the last decade, Great Wall China Adoption has been successful in finding homes for children with many different types and severity of special needs. Great Wall’s success would not be possible without the loving and nurturing families that have opened their hearts to these children. Please review the information below to learn more about our Waiting Child Program.
To allow your family to find your future Waiting Child in a timelier manner, Great Wall Waiting Child staff sends weekly updates to families that include photos and descriptions of the children available. For families that have already submitted a free Waiting Child Checklist, you may access Great Wall’s additional information on the children currently available with the password provided to you upon submitting your checklist.
Please fill out a Waiting Child Checklist to receive your password, if you haven’t done so already.
Within the Waiting Child Program, there are two tracks to choose from. Families can either choose to take the Special Focus track or the LID Edge track.
- With the Special Focus track, it allows for multiple adoptions–concurrent, simultaneous, or successive. Many families have used or are currently using this program to complete their second Chinese adoption sooner.
- With the LID Edge track, younger children with commonly accepted special needs can only be matched with families who have current Log-In Dates.
