As Kazakhstan was once part of the Russian Federation, many similarities still exist and sadly the state of orphans is one of those. Here is a quote from a great book that I have called, Successful Adoption: A Guide for Christian Families.
"There are more than four million orphans and homeless children in Russia. Officially, there are 700,000 orphans living in 2,000 state-run orphanages. Statistics show that only one out of ten Russian orphans become functional members of society. The others are lost to drugs, crime, and suicide." -Ascent Russian Orphan Aid Foundation 2005
I feel like if more people knew statistics like this, then they might also feel compelled to adopt.
