International: How to adopt Afghan refugee children (Commentary) (Includes video)
Today – August 20, 2021
The Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan has left thousands of refugees with no place to turn, many of them children. “No one chooses to become a refugee. Refugees are human beings like all of us who are forced to run for their lives to escape war, violence or persecution,” Christopher Boian, senior communications officer for United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Washington, D.C., told TODAY Parents. There are 20.7 million refugees worldwide, according to the U.N. “More than half of the world’s refugees are children and often they are alone, separated through no fault of theirs from parents or other adult family members to care for them,” Boian said.
