For years Research-China.org has fielded questions from adoptive families about the possibility of locating the birth parents of their Chinese children. As we have gained more information, statistics and insight into how children are abandoned and found and other details about adoptions in China, we feel we are now able to offer a birth parent search analysis as a service to families. If you wonder how successful a birth parent search would be, the analysis we can provide might help you decide whether or not to pursue it. More info

We have gathered an impressive collection of photos and movies of orphanage cities in China. These collections include scenes of various finding locations, government offices and main attractions, as well as cultural and scenic highlights. See if we have your child's birth city either in photos or on a DVD.

Check out our inventory of original and scanned orphanage city, street and county maps from various provinces in China.

The finding ads published by the orphanages in China are an important part of our children's lives for two reasons: First, they are published within a few months of finding, so they usually represent the earliest tangible proof of our children's lives. Second, the photographs in the finding ads are typically taken earlier than any other photos families receive during the adoption process. Go to Finding Ads section to see if we might have your child's finding ad.

We have started to combine information about China's orphanages to provide a resource and starting point for adoptive families who want to learn more about their child's birthplace. We're also hoping you'll contribute information to these pages to make them more complete. We now have pages for Guangdong, Jiangxi and Chongqing Provinces. See what this new section is about, and help fill in the blanks! Go to Orphanage Info
