Accredited agencies for China adoption

Currently the China adoption program is effectively closed because of the Covid 19 pandemic. If and when the program re-opens, the field of available agencies will have changed quite a bit. As the number of international adoptions plummet, the financial cost of accreditation has become too much for many agencies. When I was conducting research for the Mine In China book I kept a list of thirty agencies which most people used when adopting from China. Seven of these agencies have relinquished or declined to renew their accreditation. Here is the updated list as of IAAME’s listing in November 2021.
