Why isn’t My House Orphan Care involved in foreign adoption?
~ In the areas of the world where the incidence of orphans is high, the value of life and human rights is generally low. Poverty is rampant and corruption is common. This combination of circumstances sets the stage for the unthinkable practice of child trafficking. In underdeveloped third world countries, the selling of babies for “adoption” to US citizens is a multimillion-dollar business. For My House Orphan Care to be effective, we have to be above reproach with regard to caring for true orphans. In order to keep children in their native land, growing up in their own culture, it is important that we concentrate on giving long term care where needed and reuniting children with their extended families, if possible.
