Lawmakers want Trump to discuss China adoption issue

A group of bipartisan U.S. lawmakers has urged President Donald Trump to discuss pending adoptions from China during his upcoming meeting with President Xi Jinping. This follows China's abrupt halt of its international adoption program last September, affecting nearly 270 American families. The lawmakers emphasized that many of the affected children have special healthcare needs and some are nearing the age limit for care. They expressed disappointment with previous efforts by the Biden administration to seek clarity from China on this issue. Families had hoped for progress after China reopened in 2023, but were left without updates until the adoption program was officially ended. Lawmakers are now looking to Trump to negotiate a resolution for these pending cases.
