We firmly believe every child deserves a loving, permanent family, and we count it a blessing to partner with Mother’s Choice 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. 

Although Hong Kong is a part of the People’s Republic of China, it is considered a Special Administrative Region and adoptions are governed by the Hong Kong Social Welfare Department and totally separate and different from mainland China’s intercountry adoption practices overseen by the China Center of Adoption Affairs (CCAA).

The U.S. Consulate in Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Social Welfare Department determined that a family must have a current approved I-800A or “grandfathered” I-600A (original I-600A application filed prior to April 1, 2008) in order for a family to view a specific child’s background and medical reports and request to be matched with a particular child. Therefore, if a family is interested in adopting a child with special needs from Hong Kong and does not have a current approved I-800A or “grandfathered” I-600A, they should submit an application and start working towards completing a home study and filing an I-800A application with USCIS.  

If you would like to view more information about the Waiting Children from Hong Kong, please click on the link above t to complete the online screening form. Upon approval of your screening form, you will be provided a password via email for viewing Dillon’s Hong Kong Waiting Children secure web pages. Passwords will periodically change in order to further protect the privacy and anonymity of each child featured with Dillon’s Waiting Child Program.  

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 have a current approved I-800A or “grandfathered” I-600A and would like more information about a specific waiting child, the next step will be to complete Dillon's Waiting Child Application-Part I. If you do not have a current USCIS approval and are interested in more information about the Hong Kong Program, please contact Denise Schoborg, Program Director, or Julie Kline, Case Manager.
