[blparent] Can blind people adopt?

[Michelle Creedy]

That's very interesting. I'd love to meet them too at convention. The
trouble is that single folks can't adopt from China.

I know a blind couple in Chicago who adopted two blind children, one from
India and one from China. I believe China still allows blind people to
adopt, but only if they adopt blind children.

Oh it's not for me, I'm only 21. It's just something I'm curious about. Sort
of a disability wrights issue at an international level. I don't even know
if America allows it.
