OMG over 100,000 children waiting to be adopted in foster homes! And that is only in the USA. How many are there worldwide? Yet people still keep conceiving more children....why? Some people even spend thousand of dollars to conceive a child rather than adopt or waste insurance money for fertilization methods. And how many conceived children will end up in foster care or be abused, abandoned, neglected??? Why do people care about animals breeding, but are oblivious to human children with no homes? The Number of Waiting Children Each year more than 20,000 children age out of the foster care without being adopted. Today there are 104,000 children in foster care waiting to be adopted ranging in age from less than a year old to 21. The race and ethnicity of children waiting to be adopted vary from State to State and City to City. However, the most recent adoption and foster care statistics from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families Adoption and Foster Care Analysis Reporting System shows the majority of children waiting to be adopted are Caucasian (40 percent) or African American (28 percent). Children of Hispanic origin account for 22 percent of those waiting to be adopted.
