My faith in the international adoption process is being restored

The last couple of days I have read some blogs of adopting older kids. A lot of people see the cute toddler especially with special needs and know the child might be in danger if transferring to an adult facility. The chance of survival is not good. The same can be said about teenagers aging out of the orphanages. 60% of the girls aging out end up in prostitution and 80% of the boys end up committing crimes. The kids aging out have very little life skills, no job skills. No family ties and unless someone steps forward, no hope. It's a leap of faith to adopt an older child, a pure act of love.
These are kids most would consider too old and are afraid of trying. My hope was restored reading how the adopting families waited and visited these kids sometimes for years. They fought for the kids most considered not adoptable. They loved these kids and didn't give up hope. God bless them.
