Congratulations you are a new family!

You may have to re-adopt your child here in the states as a precautionary measure since a U.S. court does not have to accept the adoption of a foreign court. In some instances a re-adoption is required. Ask your adoption agency for more information.

Announce that you have completed adopting a child from China with adoption announcements and a welcome home party!

Several Options Are Available for Adoption Announcements

Hosting an Adoption Baby Shower
