What are expedited referrals?
In certain circumstances, CCAA will process a dossier significantly more rapidly than normal. The regulations effective Aug 1, 2001 list 5 separatecategories that qualify for expedited referrals. 1. Adoption of medical special needs children, 2. Adoption of children of 4 and up by parents under 45. 3. Adoption of children 7 and up by parents 46-55 years old. 4. Adoptions where one or more parents are Chinese or of Chinese ancestry (this will need some clarification, check with your agency for details). 5. Adoption by people who have been living in China for more than 1 year for work or study.
