FAC has been accredited by the China Center of Adoption Affairs (CCAA) to place children for adoption since 1994. During the last few years, the CCAA has created a new and more comprehensive system of referring special needs children for adoptive placement, which required adoption agencies to be approved to help the CCAA find permanent homes for those children. There are currently two different systems in place in China for international adoption; one “track” to adopt a child with no known or minimal medical/developmental needs, and the other “track” for adoption of special needs children. Adoptive families must choose which type of Chinese adoption they wish to pursue.

Hello all!! We hope that you have enjoyed your summer!! We are writing to inquire about interest in our Chinese language and culture class for the fall and winter sessions. As some of you may already know Miss. Jessica has moved to Houston, Texas but has left us in good hands. We have been given the name of another teacher her Chinese name is Xueying Pei and her English name is Francis Adam. We are pleased to announce that Deidre has talked to her and she has agreed to become our new teacher.
Xueying Pei has taught in China for many years. She also teaches Chinese for the Solon school. She loves working with children and teaching Chinese. We are very excited to have her as our teacher.
We are also please to announce we can now offer Chinese dance to our program. Corrina Yu is interested in becoming our dance instructor and has given us some background information on herself:
Corinna Yu trained with the Chinese American Dance Theater in Minnesota for seven years, learning from graduates of the Beijing Dance Academy as well as several master class teachers from various parts of Asia. She was a lead dancer for 4 years and taught classes for children and young adults. At Washington University she continued to teach her peers the diversity of Chinese dance through performances during Lunar New Year Festivals, as well as earning a minor in ballet and performing in various modern works. In 2005, she spent 3 weeks with the New York Folk Dance Company learning from the dance instructors in Shanghai. Currently she attends Case School of Medicine and has been actively involved choreographing dances for Doc Opera, a parody of med school used to raise funds for the Free Clinic.
Goals for the classes include:
*flexibility (basic stretching, warm-up, isolations)
*technique (foot pointing, turning, lines, jumps, body awareness, coordination)
*choreography (teaching traditional dances)
*performance (spring dance recital)
*culture (traditional music, props, costumes, history, story lines)
*FUN, FUN, FUN!!!
-Corinna Yu
Here is the following class schedule.
SESSION ONE (Language):
· 6 Saturdays
· Dates: September 15th – October 20th
· Time: Language class offered from 11AM – 12PM
SESSION TWO (Language):
· 6 Saturdays
· Dates: October 27th – December 8th, taking off November 24th for the Thanksgiving holiday
· Time: Language class offered from 11AM – 12PM
SESSION TWO (Dance):
· 6 Saturdays
· Dates: October 27th – December 8th, taking off November 24th for the Thanksgiving holiday
· Time: Dance class offered from 10AM – 11PM
Please note the dance class will run the second session only from 10AM - 11AM and the language will follow from 11AM - 12PM. Families are welcome to do only the language or only the dance classes or both for the second session.
Right now we are looking for commitment to the classes. Cost will be decided upon the number of children enrolled but in the past we have been able to keep the cost at $50 per session. Please email or call by Monday, September 3rd to let us know you are interested so we can make sure that we have a successful class.
Thank you, Melissa Albrecht and Deidre Weeks

Cai, Xi Jing (pronounced “Tsai”) has been FAC’s China representative since 1995. She has become an invaluable member of FAC’s China “team” and has helped hundreds of families reach their goal of becoming parents to a Chinese child. One of those children has appropriately nicknamed Ms. Cai as the “family maker”.
