My statistics are not wrong, nor did I really give any "statistics" from what I can remember within this video. I am unsure as to why you are leaving the comment, that you did. Please remember that you can not speak from BOTH sides of domestic and international adoption, just because you feel you are well versed with domestic adoptions. And the fact that you want to fuss at me for not stating the statistics you wanted instead of the goal of the message, which is that ALL orphans deserve a family, no matter their geographic location, race, or sex--you are missing the whole point. This is not DOMESTIC vs INTERNATIONAL adoptions. At the end of the day--it is maddening that in 2024, ANY child, who is not given support, protection, and provision, is pretty much thrown to the wolves AKA, the real world.It is maddening that so many will never have the love and support of a family that will help them become the best version of themelves. It is maddening that more families are not stepping up. However, I will not back down from the fact that children in third world countries are living a FAR more poverty stricken, homelessness, dangerous life than what you see here in America. People in third world countries do NOT adopt which means, the ratio of orphans to adoptive families is far more devastating. In addition, just because that statement is 100% TRUTH--that does not mean I am dismissing the neglect that happens here in America. At the end of the day, any orphan left without a family is DEVASATING, and that is the intention with my message here on KZfaq. My goal was not to state statistics, nor should yours.

@@TheFeltsFamily Whoa! You stated that there is more here for foster kids than overseas. I just wanted to get it straight. Also, there are homes for profoundly disabled children here where the care is probably on par with overseas orphanages. No need to become hostile because I corrected some of your information. Also, foster to adoption in the US is free to the adopter. Personally, I don't care where you adopt from.

YES YES YES, there are significantly more resources here for foster children/orphans than overseas. Absolutely. However, that statement does not dismiss that YES, even children here in America are forgotten, abused, left without any provision or resources. Yes, children here in America get the raw end of the deal and that should NEVER happen. It is apparent you have never been exposed to what orphans in third world countries live and experience. It is apparent that youhave never been exposed to what happens to the majority of aging out orphans in third world countries. because if you had been, then this discussion would not be happening. I 1,000% stand on the information, that was given in this video. There is zero hostility. LOL If you read my response to you and see hostility, then that is on you. It is quite comical yet frustrating,,how people can make such ignorant statements, yet, if anyone disputes that ignorance--then they are hostile. This will be the last time that I respond to you. My motive is not to argue with others. My goal is to bring awareness to the desperate need for families to say yes to adoption. Thank you.

Well, considering I made a commitment to a company - yes, it is a way to get me to fulfill my commitment. I didn’t realize there’s anything wrong with that.

Samantha. We, Isabelle’s parents, are not going to put her at risk. She has been using the neck ring for almost 6 years now and never have had a problem. She is not left unattended. We have her best interest at heart. Not you.

Awe thank you so much!
