Homework: Imagine that you are in charge of an orphanage or adoption agency.
Make a list of criteria that adoptive parents would have to meet in order to adopt a child through your organization.
- age limits?
- income
- relationship status
- sexual orientation
- existing family size/situation
- health conditions
- home or living space

Compare to:
"The Chinese now exclude parents who are single, gay, recently divorced, married less than two years, over 50, overweight, or earning less than $80,000 a year." (p. 43 in the book)
