Here at CCAI, we believe that adoption is just the beginning of our services. We put the needs of children first: before, during, and long after the last piece of adoption paperwork is completed.
Chinese Children Charity Fund
Unless we reach out to the children left behind in China, who may never find a loving home like yours, we are just another adoption agency. In 1995, Josh & Lily established the “Children’s Formula Fund” to provide baby formula to needy orphanages. Over the years, that has grown into the Chinese Children Charity Fund. The Charity Fund has donated millions of dollars to Chinese orphanages and children in the form of medical missions, foster care sponsorship, childcare training, renovation projects, educational and medical expenses, clothing, food, and much more. Adoptive families can also donate back to their children’s orphanages and the Charity Fund acts as facilitator to ensure that families’ donations directly benefit the children left behind.
Post-Adoption Services
CCAI Post Adoption
We are honored to be part of the lives of our adoptive families and beautiful Chinese children, long after they come home from China. After you return, CCAI’s Post Adoption Department will join hands with your social worker to provide “post adoption” services on issues ranging from citizenship questions to attachment challenges. We will support you as you work through adoption processes in your state and adjust to your precious new family member.
CCAI Red Thread Counseling Center
In January 2005, we established the CCAI Red Thread Counseling Center to provide support for families in all stages of the adoption process. Highly qualified and professional therapists are available to meet with families in person or over the phone for couples' counseling, family therapy, and attachment issues. The Counseling Center also facilitates play groups and support groups for children of all ages. This service is available to your family as your adopted child grows into high school, college, and beyond.
ChinaRoots Heritage Tour
To help our adopted children reconnect with their birth country and culture and to meet the growing need for root search, CCAI's ChinaRoots offers heritage tour services. Through this wonderful program, the adopted children will not only tour the famous sites such as the Great Wall and Terra Cotta Soldiers, but also locate their abandonment sites, meet their orphanage nannies and volunteer at the orphanages.
Joyous Chinese Cultural Center
The Joyous Chinese Cultural Center came to life in 1996 as a positive and entertaining way for adopted Chinese children to connect with their heritage. JCCC students learn Chinese dance and art, as well as written and spoken Chinese. JCCC also offers a children’s drum ensemble. It’s a great opportunity for adopted Chinese children to come together with other families just like theirs. Classes are offered at CCAI on weekdays and weekends, and the Distance Learning program is a great option for families living outside the Denver area.
Chinese American Family Connection Program
CCAI can connect American adoptive families with an ethnic Chinese family in their area to share birthdays, Gotcha Days, and American and Chinese holidays. This is another wonderful way for adopted Chinese children to feel pride in their country of birth while integrating their forever family into the world of China!
Family Network
When you adopt through CCAI, you join a family of thousands. We have placed children in every state in the US, so you can be sure to connect with another CCAI family in your area. We have annual local reunions all over the nation, and many CCAI families form their own networks and play groups. Beginning with the family references included in our Information Packet, you will have the support of thousands of families who have walked the same adoption path. |
