China is planning to issue new, tighter restrictions on foreign adoptions of Chinese children. The restrictions prohibit adoptions by parents who are unmarried, obese or who are older than 50.
The new regulations are to take effect May 1, 2007 and are anticipated to slow the rapid rise in applications by foreign parents to adopt Chinese babies. Chinese officials report that applications had begun to exceed the number of available babies, and that the new rules were partly intended to address that imbalance.
