The Yiwu Families Association is a group of families who have adopted children from the Yiwu Social Welfare Institute in Zhejiang Province, People's Republic of China. The only criterion for membership is to have adopted one or more children from this orphanage. We encourage Yiwu families anywhere in the world to join our group to help establish and maintain links that will give our children a stronger foundation as they grow up. If you have just received a referral of a child from Yiwu, you are also welcome to join. Please email Ralph Stirling to sign up. Present membership is 220 families located in at least 40 states and provinces in 8 countries.
