I’m so glad you asked.

Adoption is not for everyone.  Nor is it the answer to the world’s orphan crisis.  In the best of circumstances, adoption creates a loving family for a child who has been orphaned.  But it does not address the root causes of why a child has been abandoned or orphaned to begin with.  It is a band-aid on a much larger problem.  It is estimated that 99% of the world’s orphans will not be adopted.  Adoption is an answer for some orphaned children . . . but not for most of them.
