Under the Adoption Law of the People's Republic of China, an adoptive parent must be 30 years of age or older to be eligible to adopt. The age restriction may be waived if the adopting parent is adopting a step-child. Children must be under the age of 14 when being adopted by a foreigner or by an overseas Chinese unless the child is a blood relative. The China Center of Adoption Affairs handles all matters relating to adoption. It is under the Ministry of Civil Affairs and has a website that contains much relevant information.
