Organization: CCAI (Chinese Children Adoption International)
Mission: Facilitate domestic & foreign orphan adoptions, provide humanitarian aid to orphans, and provide services and support to adoptees.
Activities: Placement of Children: In 2019, 214 Orphaned children from Peoples Republic of China, Haiti, Latvia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Taiwan and the US were placed in American adoptive families' homes. An additional 283 families are in the various stages pre-adoption process at the end of the year. On 12/31/2019 there were 858 families in the adoption process and 1628 children receiving post adoption services.
Children's Charity Fund: a restricted fund dedicated to humanitarian assistance to orphaned/abandoned and adopted children. The fund has been used to purchase food, clothing, diapers, formula, educational materials, toys, and medical assistance. The Children's Charity Fund sponsors over 500 children in Foster Care programs, orphanages, and the five Lily Orphan Care Centers in the Henan Province of China.
Family Development Services: To ensure the success of the adoption, CCAI developed post adoption support systems designed to assist the families with the bonding and attachment process, cultural education and emotional support. The Joyous Chinese Cultural School conducts programs for pre-school through high school to teach Chinese culture and traditions and to overcome issues associated with adoption. Our Adopteen Program serves over 300 adopted American pre-teens and teenagers each year with Adoptween hangouts, summer camp-conferences and giving back orphanage service trips where they spend time working and caring for children in the orphanages. The China Roots Program created opportunities for 186 Adoptees to return back to China to discover their roots and visit the Orphanages where they lived prior to adoption. With these 186 Adoptees, 297 of their family members were able to join in and take advantage of this program resulting in a total of 483 persons touring China.
