Hong Kong: A growing number of Americans are paying $3,000 to adopt Chinese orphan baby girls, a Hong Kong newspaper said on Sunday.  

The Sunday Morning Post said demand was so high that the United States consulate in the south China city of Guangzhou had set up an adoption unit staffed by a state department officer to handle the babies’ immigration applications, the first of its kind in an American overseas mission. (Reuter)
