American adoption agencies can deny adoptions if they don’t like anything about you. Including your religion. And most of them are Christian, including the ones getting money from the state.
By queer, I didn’t mean all types of queer people. I mean that many people who fall under that spectrum have been able to successfully adopt children from China when denied by the U.S.
My question is about any type of non “conventional” couple being approved for adoption in China. As I understand it, their policy involved a strict “moral standing” to adopt, anything that deviated was instantly denied. So I am confused as to how any queer people would pass that test, let alone that its happened.
Possibly, but they seem more sincere about their bigotry.
Edit: They’re also more in tune with Western social norms that might indicate someone isn’t 100% heterosexual and they can do things like check marriage licenses.

China, on the other hand, allowed you to adopt if you’re things like queer or single or not Christian.
Do you have a source for China allowing anyone who isn’t cisgender to adopt? I have only ever heard that it is an instant denial.

I’m guessing it involves bribes. But it was still achievable.
I bet if you bribed one of those Christians you could get the same result.

I understand that some of them have issues. Instead of fixing those supply chain issues, we have been outsourcing to China.
Even if that’s the term we have for it, I hate the use of supply chain here, it’s got such an uncaring tone…
International adoption is a rather uncaring business to be in. Sure, it’s “for the children,” but I’m betting cash is still king.
