The CCAA shall not identify prospective adoptive referrals for
homosexuals. Legally, the Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China
recognizes only families formed by marriage of opposite sex and does not
recognize the legality of homosexual families, and the homosexual
families are, therefore, not protected by laws.
From the Chinese medical point of view, the China Mental Disorder
Classification and Diagnosis Standard classifies homosexuality as sexual
obstruction, belonging to psychiatric disease of the kind of sexual
psychological barrier.
In terms of the Chinese traditional ethics and customs and habits,
homosexuality is an act violating public morality and therefore not
recognized by the society. In accordance with the principle that adoption
shall not violate social ethics as set forth in the Adoption Law, foreign
homosexuals are not allowed to adopt children in China.
