• ASIA will forward the adoptive families’ home studies to the Taiwan agency with whom we work.
• The Taiwan agency will accept home studies in chronological order, including those from other agencies.
• The Taiwan agency will translate home studies into Traditional Chinese.
• The Taiwan agency will then internally review the home study. After passing agency review, it qualifies for matching.
• When there is a new child’s referral available, the agency will present the next home study in chronological order to the guardian or parent.
• If the adoptive family is not accepted by the guardian or birth parent, the agency will present the next adoptive family. This first family will become the next priority to be matched.
• The Taiwan agency will advise ASIA when the guardian or birth parent’s consent is received. It will then provide the child’s medical report, family background, birth certificate and photos (referral) for the adoptive family’s consideration.

• The Taiwan agency will voluntarily provide a child’s information that includes medical report, family background, birth certificate and photos. The Taiwan agency will distribute, at the same time, the above information for matching to all adoption agencies with whom it works. This process is intended to shorten the waiting period for the child’s placement.
• ASIA will only allow home study ready families to view the harder to place waiting child list. For any adoptive family working with ASIA that wants to adopt a harder to place child, ASIA will promptly email their home study to the Taiwan agency. The Taiwan agency will match the child to the first home study received and advise other cooperative agencies to stop matching.
