He returned to China to serve one last time from 1946 to 1949. After returning to the United States in 1949, Adolph worked preparing missionaries for overseas work and restoring their health after contracting diseases. Once retired, he served at his sons' hospitals in central Ethiopia and Bangladesh. He opened two hospitals in Luan, Shanxi and in Kaifeng, Henan and played a key role in the negotiations with Japanese military that kept hospitals open to Chinese populations during the Second Sino-Japanese War.
