Why doesn the foreign government put forth more effort to help the adoption process along. Don they want their orphanage children to be adopted?
Most of these foreign governments do not want to give up their children. Many of the children in Eastern European orphanages are there because their families are struggling to survive, and about 70 percent of those children will be reunited with their families when their parents can financially care for them. It is sometimes an embarrassment to the foreign countries to open their orphanage doors to American scrutiny. Most citizens in these countries feel they care sufficiently for their children, and the sometimes criticize the U.S. system of foster care. Many of these foreign government cooperate in adoptions because of political pressure from the United States. Asian governments, however, are more willing to allow adoption of their children and in some ways are more cooperative.
