Wow, really? I had no idea that there are more parents willing to adopt young orphans than there are young orphans.

- tathougies 9y agoYes... it's a bit more complicated than that as well. Often times, if a baby is abandoned (on the street or in a hospital), the foster care system will not 'free' that child for adoption until the child is two years old. Not every person is able to foster (that's a very involved process), even if they would be able to adopt. These children basically languish in the system in the hopes that their current set of parents (the ones who abandoned them) will come back, and the law does not move fast. I do not know whether it's a good or bad thing in general, but for the children it fails it's pretty awful.
