An Adoption Dilemma?

By Molly McCall
Thu, April 12, 2007, 3:54 pm PDT

Single parents, tubby folks, and 51-year-olds need not apply. China has announced stern new requirements for foreign adoptions. And ever since the globe's most populous country put potential parents on notice, searches for "international adoption" have climbed to staggering heights.

Currently in our top 300 searches, the buzz for overseas family-building is drawing hundreds of thousands of searches each day.

Also staging a rapid rise, buzz on "transracial adoption" leapt more than 1,400% over the past seven days. Searches for "adoption" and "adoption search" moved upwards. And interest in "adoptive parents" nearly doubled.

China isn't the only country to reconsider the parenting process. In the past weeks, Guatemala moved to revise its adoption procedures. And just today, Russia slammed the door on adoption applications from the U.S. As for the three countries most popular with Americans looking to adopt internationally? You guessed it: China, Guatemala, and Russia. Oh my.

But future families, don't lose heart. Time passes, rules change. In the meantime, browse our other top searches for child adoption from the past week...
