According to the link, http://www.hooyou.com/adoption/bypr.html, it is necessary that the adoptive child is in the custody of the adoptive parents.
But the other link, http://web.wenxuecity.com/BBSView.php?SubID=immigration&MsgID=510864, said "the kid does not need to live with you for at two years"
Is the information in the first link outmoded?
Thank you very much!
