NOTICE OF STANDARDIZATION OF POST PLACEMENT
REPORT OF THE ADOPTED CHILDREN

Respected Adoption Agencies,

Since China began the work of placing out children for foreign adoption , many Chinese children have been adopted by foreign families. After the adoption of Chinese children by foreign families, many adoption agencies have attached great importance to the follow-up service of the post placement and paid attention to timely feedback regarding the life and upbringing of the adopted children abroad. However, some adoption agencies have not relayed any information about the adopted children back to the Center, others have only submitted photos and a brief account of the adopted children. In order to further render good service to China's placement of children for foreign adoption, and to ensure the legitimate rights of the adopted children of our country , standardized feedback materials of the adopted children are necessary. The requirements for the standardization of the feedback materials are as follows:

A.The contents of the feedback materials should include:

1. The name of the adopted child (the original Chinese name and present given name), date of birth, recent photos (at least two), the name of the welfare institute which placed out the child for adoption, and the health status of the child at the time of adoption;
2. Adoption parents's names, and address as well as the name of the adoption organization which processed their adoption;
3. The date the adoption parents came to China for the adoption, and the document number of "Notice of Coming to China for Adoption";
4. Post Placement Report, the contents of which should include the most recent information available regarding the adopted child, i.e., physical stamina, intellectual development, health status, the treatment for the sick and disabled children, the attachment and adaptation of the child to the family, education and naturalization etc.

B.The feedback report should be written by the social worker who is entrusted by the adoption organization concerned through family visits.

C.At least two post placement reports should be submitted to the China Center of Adoption Affairs, one within a period of six months after the child was adopted and brought back home,the other one within another six months period after the first report.

D.The feedback materials, apart from written report and photos mentioned above, may also include audio or video tapes. All written materials should be translated into Chinese.
