China halts foreign adoptions, leaving children and U.S. families in limbo

Last month, China announced that it would end foreign adoptions of Chinese children to foreign families other than to blood relatives. Parent Aimee Welch joins CBS News to discuss her ongoing struggle to adopt her potential daughter.

This is what puzzles me with this idea, why do you need to travel thousands of miles away to adopt???

Children aren’t commodities! Plenty of adoptable children in the US now that women have to give birth. Plenty of older, children with medical needs in the USA now.

In China 🇨🇳, hatre and racism are taught and state-sponsored.

Why not adopt here in the US? We have so many unwanted children here in the states that need a family.

That woman is the best of America. We all need to reach out with more love and less hate.

Poor kids.
How magnanimous of the Chinese government.
Booo!!

Why not the children we have here already. When people go out of country to adopt I be looking at them side ways just don’t trust.
