China has banned international adoptions of disabled children from abroad.
The ban will particularly determine the fates of China ’s most vulnerable children - those with special needs.
Beijing 's civil affairs ministry said 95% of adoptions between 2014 and 2018 involved children with disabilities.
More than 160,000 children have been adopted by families across the world.
China will only send children overseas for adoption if the adoptive parents are blood relatives.
The BBC understands that US authorities are in talks with Beijing on whether a further exception can be made for waiting families.
Nanchang Project , a non-profit group that helps connect adoptees to their roots in China , said it felt “a sense of relief that no more children will be separated from their birthplace, culture, and identity”.
