[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was toying with the same idea of adopting Syrian refugee children. It's just a sad and a real lose-lose situation, I mean these children have been thru hell, and there are willing and able people all over the world who would give anything to make them smile. But like it was stated by the Syrian embassy, they are not considering adoptions yet, as things are such a mess there, the last thing they would want to do is give away a child and then find a living relative afterwards, so to wait for a child to be officially labeled an "orphan" will be laborious. Very understandable, and I am sympathetic to their gov't and the neighboring countries who have given them camps. At the end of the day, I'd rather these children of course be with any family, heck a close family friend, but in the meantime, these kids are afraid, perhaps alone, not fully understanding their world that has crumbled around them..it just tears me apart. We all feel helpless, which is paralyzing, but maybe one day when things get more sorted out, these syrian orphans and all syrian refugees will either be able to return home and rebuild or move somewhere safe where they can start over.

Fortunately there are plenty of things you can do with your time and money to support refugee children, other than adoption.  [/quote]
