Hiring an escort to travel to China in place of the adoptive parents traveling is not possible. The China Center of Adoption Affairs in Beijing requires one or both parents come to China to complete the legal paperwork and finalize the adoption. We recommend that both parents travel to meet their child not only to complete the legal process, but more importantly, to be present for the transition of the child in the bonding and attachment period to follow. If it is necessary that only one parent travels, he/she must carry a Power of Attorney from the absent parent in order to complete the legal process.
