的确, 领养一个中国孤儿院里的孩子需要一笔比较大的开支, 而且有一定的条件. 我的理解是中国政府希望明确领养中国孤儿的家庭在经济上是宽裕的. 同时, 也并不是花了那么多的钱, 中国政府就一定会把孩子给你, 这不是一种买卖.

General Information
This is our landmark program and has been in operation since 1991. Children's Bridge has successfully completed over 1200 adoptions from China. majority of our adoptions have been infant girls between 10 and 14 months of age. Older children and children with special needs are also available. Children are available mostly due to one child policy.
China offers a very smooth, predictable process. Your child will arrive home approximately 13 to 14 months after your adoption file reaches China. Our children have adapted well with few adjustment problems. Very limited social and medical information is available relating to your child.
