Probably worried about population decline. They abandoned their 1 child policy quite awhile ago and now have a maximum 3 child policy.

Suddenly, somewhere people heard a distinct but faint "FUCK" echo through the valley, but they knew it was Angelina Jolie.

Plenty of American kids need homes.

American adoption agencies can deny adoptions if they don't like anything about you. Including your religion. And most of them are Christian, including the ones getting money from the state.

China, on the other hand, allowed you to adopt if you're things like queer or single or not Christian.

Do you have a source for China allowing anyone who isn’t cisgender to adopt? I have only ever heard that it is an instant denial.

By queer, I didn't mean all types of queer people. I mean that many people who fall under that spectrum have been able to successfully adopt children from China when denied by the U.S.

My question is about any type of non “conventional” couple being approved for adoption in China. As I understand it, their policy involved a strict “moral standing” to adopt, anything that deviated was instantly denied. So I am confused as to how any queer people would pass that test, let alone that its happened.

Understandable. As others said, they have a demographic decline.

Who doesn't right now?

The US, for example, has a very stable population.

The demographic situation in China really doesn't have an analog anywhere else in the world.

The US is only stable because of immigration. And since that's been attacked nonstop the US will be in trouble soon too

You've been deceived by political rhetoric. The share of the US population who are first generation immigrants is the highest it's been in over 100 years.

OK? That changes the fact that Republicans are dead set on stopping immigration?
