Well, it's official... the China Center of Adoption Affairs has announced that the orphanage donation/child rearing fee will increase to 35,000 RMB (roughly $5,000 - $5,100), effective January 1, 2009. Let's hope that this will lead to a speed up in the referral rates. Time will tell...
Note: the old fee was $3000 USD which had been unchanged over the past decade, so they were due for an increase I guess...
