there are many, many desperate children that feel so hopeless and lonely right now in some orphanage
Adoption in many countries is very difficult, and plenty of potential parents do not qualify. My wife and I are financially secure, and are very successfully raising two of our own kids. But we had room in our home and our hearts for at least one more, and looked into adoption. We were turned down. The reasons given were that we were too old (I am in my 50s and my wife is in her 40s), and we already have kids of our own, and childless couples would be given priority.
If there really are orphanages full of desperate children, then governments are doing an incredibly poor job of matching them up with willing and capable parents.
