Only one rollaway bed will fit in a room. Please talk to your CHI travel coordinator about the room arrangements, if two children are on the trip. Adjoining rooms can be requested, but it will depend on the availability at each hotel.

If only one parent is traveling CHI will charge a refundable $1000 deposit with the inside China travel invoice. This fee will be refundable upon receipt of your child's re-adoption/adoption documents from your state of residence and his/her Citizenship Certificate.

Please call your bank several weeks in advance to order your new or newer crisp US money. New or newer meaning, not worn or torn bills, please make sure that the face on the bill is clear and not worn or damaged in any way. We recommend that you take $2,000 or $5000 (depending if orphanage donation can be wired by CHI) into China in cash (new or like new One Hundred Dollar bills) for legal expenses, due the first two days in the province.

You will need some additional money (also bills should be new/newer and in very good condition) in a variety of denominations ($20, $10, $5 & $1) for buying souvenirs, gifts, meals (for lunch and dinner), and miscellaneous personal expenses.

You will be able to exchange your US dollars to Chinese yuan in China just before you need it at the hotel lobby desk or nearby bank. The coordinator will tell you if the legal fees will need to be paid in US dollars or Chinese yuan. There is no need to cash in very large sums of US dollars to Chinese Yuan at one time. Exchange money as needed and keep your receipts.

Tips for saving your cash dollars:

If you eat at the hotel restaurants, you can charge your meals to your room and then pay with a credit card when you check out.

You can charge your purchases from the hotel gift shops to your rooms.
