Del from Philadelphia says..."Our situation with orphans in the U.S.A.  seems to be very much like yours;  Please put in a page for us.  Adoptions are very difficult here and if you go privately, it gets very expensive.  My wife and I gave up."

Elizabeth,

 

"Your site looks awesome...hmmm at some point I love to help you with a US chapter if you decide to do that....might even mean a second book on the issue here - as you know I was adopted - I was lucky. :-) But there is still the public perception that you’re damaged goods ---- and as you know a child knows this -
I knew it.  Made me an over achiever with abandonment issues....and a survivor! :-) "

Orphan adoption in North America is too difficult so people go overseas.

Why?Frequently Asked Questions

"Why is it so difficult to adopt?  My wife and I are successful, live in a good neighbourhood and we would like a child very much."


"Why do people think we are more damaged than children overseas?"


How is it easier for successful Canadian business couples to adopt
1, 3, 4 and 11 year-old overseas children rather than adopt here? 
Wouldn't it be nice if it were so because there are no more children who
are waiting for adoption in Canada?
