Although there are many children waiting for adoption, they are not the children that you might be thinking of. Orphaned children desperately need love, but they can be a very difficult lot. Many of them are special needs children, or children with severe emotional damage. Some of them have been abused early in life, or have been deeply injured by the trauma of losing a parent. Whatever the reason, if you opt to get a child waiting for adoption, you have to be in it all the way. You can't just be in love with the idea of having a cute little kid who depends on you. You have to be the mature adult who can satisfy that child's deep emotional needs.
Many of the children waiting for adoption do not come from foreign countries. Although many people look into adoption from Russia, you can really find a child in this very country who needs you. Many of these children are moved around from foster care center to foster care center for years, with no one to care for them. These children waiting for adoption never learn to develop the kinds of deep emotional bonds that most of us take for granted. They have such a difficult time in their early childhood that by the time they reach adulthood, they are emotionally crippled.
This is why you can make such a big difference in the life of children waiting for adoption. A lot of these kids need almost constant work, but it is worth it. To know that you have made a difference, that you have taken a sick and unhappy kid and turned them into a healthy, functioning, young adult is one of the greatest rewards that a parent can have. The love that you feel for children waiting for adoption is no less deep than the love that you come to feel for your natural child.
Of course, just the process of adopting a child is a test of the strength of your resolve. A lot of people think that it will be easy to adopt a child, but nothing is further from the truth. It is strange that, in a country with so many awful parents, so much scrutiny is put into making sure that children waiting for adoption find the right caretakers. Nonetheless, it is a good thing. These kids do not need another unhealthy relationship with an uncaring adult!
