I have a friend who runs a very large, very active adoption Yahoo group. I don't think she'd mind my posting what she wrote this evening on the state of international adoptions:
Friends,
With China's strict requirments and also almost a 3 year wait for NSN (non special needs)
children, Guatemala now shut-down, Vietnam has the threat of being closed again, the
Hague being enforced starting April with stricter requirements for adoption
families, I feel we all need to be concerned and pray for orphans worldwide.
Also, remember other countries in years past that were doing adoptions(like
Romania) are not allowing international adoptions now. Orphans worldwide are the
ones who are and will suffer the most.
To me it does seem that international adoptions needs a lot of prayer,
especially for the orphans who still remain in orphanages. An orphanage is nothing
like the love of a family. Even though the physical needs may be being met
(and in many orphanages there is still lack of food, heat. medicines,etc) there
are emotional needs such as love that is needed too.
Please let us all pray for the precious children in orphanages worldwide who
all need families to love them."
Our beautiful family, our wonderful life.
