The Needs of Orphan Children are REAL. 

• Today, there are 133 million orphan children. (statistic from UNICEF)

• Total worldwide adoptions still leave millions of orphans without families.

• In 2007, Americans adopted approximately 20,000 children internationally, a tragically small number in comparison to the need.

• Most orphans will not be adopted before their childhood comes to an end. 

Orphan Children Need Adoptive Parents.

Orphans Overseas continues efforts to improve orphanage conditions for those children who must grow up in them. However, we believe all children deserve the love and support of a permanent family. We will advocate for adoptive families for as many of those vulnerable children as possible.  

We celebrate international adoption as a wonderful solution for those children unable to grow up in their families of birth. Orphans Overseas has given more than 900 children hope by providing loving adoptive families for at-risk orphan children from Romania, China, Russia, Vietnam, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and the United States since 1991. We long for every family to adopt one child, so that we would wipe out the need for orphanages around the world. 

WE BELIEVE it is in the best interest of a child to grow up in his or her own family whenever possible.  Orphans Overseas, along with many worldwide outreach organizations, is making efforts at family preservation. Still, in our broken world, it is not always in a child’s best interest to remain with his or her family of birth and adoption enables these at risk children to have permanent families. Orphans Overseas believes in the importance of families to nurture children-both birth families and adoptive families.
