China (MNN)-- Next, future adoptive parents will face tougher restrictions from China beginning in May. China's new rules require prospective parents to have more education, better physical health, and a stable home and marriage. Bethany Christian Services China coordinator, Jaclyn Skalnik says the changes point to one thing: "I believe that they are moving towards domestic adoption. So, when we hear these new guidelines, I think we have a tendency to, of course, wonder what's happening with the children. I think the movement in China is that, their goal, and everyone's goal is to keep as many children in China, with Chinese families, as possible." Skalnik says through a continued a positive relationship with the government, they'll keep the door open for ministry. "I believe, as a Christian agency, it's still our priority of course to care for the fatherless, and pray for those that we cannot care for. I think that we have somewhat of a trusting relationship and understanding with all of our countries, whether they are Christian countries or not, that, where we can help, we will."
