China Hong Kong Adoption

Children available in Hong Kong are generally ages 2-15 years old. These children have relatively mild, moderate or severe special needs that can be physical, developmental, cognitive/mental, emotional, or a combination thereof. Common special needs include prenatal substance exposure, ADHD, autism, behavioral concerns related to the child’s history, and developmental delays. Some children will have more complex medical conditions such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy, Down Syndrome, or multiple diagnoses. As Hong Kong is a developed country, children generally have access to various medical specialties and therapies to help them progress as much as possible. Clinically healthy older children are occasionally available as are sibling groups where one or more children may or may not have a specific special need. Child studies are informative regarding the child’s developmental status, social history, educational level, and personality.

All children available for adoption in any country will have at least the special need of trauma through loss and separation. Many children have experienced some form of abuse in their young lives. Children come into care for many reasons and at various ages—and many have difficult family backgrounds. Children in care can live in a foster home, small group home, orphanage, or clinical setting.

Primary religions in Hong Kong include Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.
