India and China In China, there are older healthy boys and girls as well as minor to moderate young correctable special needs children who are waiting to be adopted. We are currently accepting applications for new families in CA and ALL STATES. Single women may now also adopt healthy older and young correctable special needs children.* In India, there are minor to moderate correctable needs, young & older children waiting to be adopted, boys and girls. The registration for healthy children recently opened. We are currently accepting applications for new families in Southern CA only. Bal Jagat- Children's World Inc partners with many agencies that have country programs in all parts of the world. We will complete the homestudy and progress reports, and they will assist with Child Placement. Remember, if you are working with another agency, we can complete your homestudy. We can also help you with child placement. Please inquire with us and make a personal orientation appointment to see which country program is right for you. There are so many children in the world that need a loving family. We are also able to assist with progress reporting (both post placement and post adoption), Re- adoption (AKA California adoption) and homestudy services even if you are working with another child placement agency. Please inquire with us to learn how we can assist you. There are always special needs children in every country waiting to be adopted. Please note: Country information is subject to change without notice. Other eligibility requirements vary by country program. If you are open to gender the wait may be reduced. In most countries (except for India) there are always more boys than girls. In China your wait may be lessened if you are open to boys or girls (keep both options open). Currently the CCCWA is matching healthy young children with families that have submitted documents in Dec of 2006. Our BJCW Inc. next family is in Group #129, with a log in date of January 10, 2007. The next Chinese Priority group that is being matched is Group# 142P. They have submitted documents in Dec 2007, with a log in date of January 11, 2008. Special focus referrals are also being processed as soon as they are ready (with no delays).
Two new referrals have arrived! One healthy teenager from Bulgaria. One special needs toddler from China (male)! Let's share our love and blessings with these families!
