Every year around 275,000 children enter the foster care system in the United States and will need foster homes and eventually adoption. This is illustrated by the story of Justin, a foster child who was adopted by a loving family. Additionally, every 15 seconds a child in Africa becomes an AIDS orphan and 10 to 15% of children forced out of the foster care system in Russia and Ukraine commit suicide by age 18. The document encourages readers that they too can help save children's lives through adoption or fostering.
