Regarding paperwork: CIS (Citizenship and Immigration Services) is the department formerly known as INS. This is where you sent your petition to adopt an orphan (I600a). CIS will take your fingerprints, the FBI will use them to run yourbackground check, and CIS will send you your FDL (favorable determination letter), also known as the I171h.
Regarding China's requirements: It is important to know that each agency's requirements might differ from the requirements that China imposes. I would follow the advice of others who have suggested to ask around at different agencies to ensure that you fall within a particular agency's requirements.
