What do you think about the new adoption guidelines that China is now setting?

I just heard on the news today that China is making their adoption standards much stricter. Some of the restrictions for adopting a child from China will now exclude anyone: who is overweight, not married,or over the age of 50. What do you think about this?

wow that makes it a lot harder i think to adopt a baby from china then! especially for americans! I know a lot of single people like to adopt and pretty much half of american is somewhat overweight. I don't think this is right. Chinese children deserve to be adopted by whomever will love them! is this not discrimination?

I think that you're right about how few people will actually be qualiied to adopt now-especially from America (yep-we do have really high overweight rates lately) I don;t think they consider it discrimination but to me it seems like the standards are filled with that type of bias
