Для вашей информации о сиротах в СШАMillions of children, in the United States, are living without parents. The number of parentless children has increased from 3.7 percent in 1980 to 4.1 percent today.
In any given year, there were nearly 800,000 children in substitute care with up to 514,000 children served through the child welfare system.
Today, 513,000 are living in out of home (or substitute) care in foster homes, kinship care, and residential congregate care (includes
children’s homes, residential education) and residential treatment centers. Substitute care is often referred to as foster care in the United States. One hundred fourteen thousand (114,000) children are waiting to be adopted and another 66,000 children have had parental rights terminated this year. Approximately 35 percent of the children in substitute care are orphans eligible for or awaiting adoption. Most children enter substitute care due to abuse or neglect. Slightly less than 1/5 enter due to parental death, absence or termination of parental rights. In addition, over two million children have lost the care of a parent and are living in informal kinship care but have not entered a governmental system or agency
Отсюда Если коротко, в Америке полмиллиона детей в детских домах, 114 тысяч ждут усыновления и еще 66 тысяч взяты у родителей, которых лишили родительских прав. Спрашивается, зачем ехать в Россию и кого-то усыновлять, если прямо здесь и сейчас сотни тысяч детей ждут усыновления? Если дело не в боязни проблем, раз усыновляют инвалидов, то в чем дело? Наводит на разные мысли - от расизма до того, что усыновители не подходят под критерии, а в России все это не важно.
