CASI Foundation for Children, Inc. 

CHINA PROGRAM

China home to 20% of the world's population, now reaching 1.3 billion people.  In an effort to control the population, a one-child policy was implemented.

Millions of orphaned Chinese children, primarily girls, reside in orphanages waiting to be adopted by a permanent and loving adoptive family. The largest number of international adoptions continue to be processed from China.

CASI Foundation For Children, Inc. is proud of the relationship they have established with China.  It has improved the adoption process as well as allowed a strong partnership with China to improve the quality of life for orphans through humanitarian projects and aid.
