China to end foreign adoption program, leaving hundreds of U.S. families in limbo

The Chinese government halted a program that allowed international adoption of Chinese children, leaving several U.S. families in limbo as their applications are at a standstill.
The State Department said on Thursday that the embassy is seeking clarification in writing from China’s Ministry of Civil Affairs. Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.

"We understand there are hundreds of families still pending completion of their adoption, and we sympathize with their situation," the State Department said.
