Dillon International is honored to be chosen by the China Center of Adoption Affair’s to participate in the CCAA on-line special needs system. Dillon has access to the CCAA shared agency list of children with special needs. We also receive individual listings of children who are assigned only to Dillon. 

We embrace children from all parts of the People’s Republic of China with a wide variety of special needs ranging from cleft lip and palate to cerebral palsy and heart conditions to Hepatitis B to name a few. We have seen the percentage of Waiting Child placements grow from 9% of our total placements in 2003 to 59% of our placements in 2008. We firmly believe every child deserves a loving, permanent family, and we count it a blessing to partner with the CCAA to help reach this goal. However, we do realize that not all families are called to adopt a child with special needs and we deeply respect each family’s decision. 

Since the CCAA requires families to have a current approved home study in order to apply for a child in the special needs program, you must have this in order to receive and review a child’s file.  

Only information about children from our individual agency list who are not matched with current waiting families will be posted on our website. If you would like to view more information about these children, please click on the link "Screening Form" above to complete the online screening form. PLEASE NOTE:  Until May 15, 2009, we are only accepting screening forms from families with an approved home study and currently in process with Dillon’s China Adoption Program.

Upon approval of your screening form, you will be provided a password via email for viewing Dillon’s China Waiting Children secure webpages. Passwords will periodically change in order to further protect the privacy and anonymity of each child featured with Dillon’s Waiting Child Program. 

Before completing the screening form, we ask you to review Dillon’s China Adoption Program and the agency’s general Adoption Policies to make sure you meet the guidelines for our adoption program in the People’s Republic of China.

Dillon’s Waiting Child Program Coordinator can connect you with other Dillon families who have adopted children with special needs. These families can share their experiences with you and help you with questions you may have as you consider adding a specific waiting child to your family. Please email our Waiting Child Program Coordinator to receive a reference list of our “mentor families.”

If you decide to move forward with the adoption of a specific waiting child, the next step will be to complete Dillon's Waiting Child Application-Part I.
