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.
