I have no documentation of the adoption policy of either the U.S. or
China; However, I am friends with a lesbian couple who
adopted two female infants from China. Other lesbians in our
community are also looking into this, and from what I understand the
wait is only 3 months to one year. Additionally, I know a
heterosexual married couple in Alabama who adopted a daughter from
China, and their wait was less than six months. I suspect there will
never be a shortage of abandoned female infants in China, I am
thrilled that these adoptions can actually take place.
