By Wendy Koch and Calum MacLeod, USA TODAY
Adoption agencies are receiving a surge in phone calls from people who want to adopt children orphaned by the earthquake in China.
Read the whole article here.
Snippet(s):
"Last May, China tightened its eligibility rules, barring foreign applicants who are single, gay, obese, older than 50, low-income or have a history of mental illness.
China had been the No. 1 foreign country for adoptions by people in the USA since 2000. Now it is sending fewer orphans: 5,453 in 2007, down from 7,906 in 2005, according to the State Department."
