It is hard to believe but the Democratic Republic of Congo has over 4 million orphaned children. The problem is on such a grand scale that the country itself could never hope to find adoptive parents for all the children concerned. And that doesn’t take into consideration the cost and other pressures in that country. Their only real hope is to find other families worldwide, who are prepared to offer a loving home for these poor children.
Luckily there are lots of families around the world who are more than happy to adopt children from another culture and another country. As long as you can give a child a home, a safe and secure environment and lots of love, care and attention that is all a child really needs. If you watch the following video this is proved beyond doubt. The adoptive parents are waiting at the airport for their new sons to arrive from the Congo.
As soon as the children see their new mother and father they run headlong into their arms and embrace each other for at least 2 to 3 minutes. The love and affection that all four people have for each other is so apparent and so touching it just goes to prove what an amazing thing adoption can be to everyone concerned.
