Starting next May, China is planning to bar people who are single, obese or older than 50 from adopting Chinese babies. With the number of applications far exceeding the number of babies available, the Chinese government says this will help ensure the best families for the kids. 

With so many Minnesotans adopting from China these days, I thought many of you would be interested in this New York Times story today.

What do you think, Cribsheeters? Can the odds of finding a loving family be boiled down to age, weight and marital status? If you’ve adopted from abroad, please share your experience.
