“Over 200,000 children live in foster homes in America today. Forty to sixty percent of these children have been severely and permanently damaged by their pasts, resulting in behavioral, psychiatric, emotional, and neurological disorders. Large numbers of previously adopted children (both domestic and international) suffer from similar problems. In the past, these children would have been cared for in specialized facilities staffed 24 hours a day by professionals. Today they are placed in inadequately prepared adoptive or foster homes where they often become uncontrollable, and forcefully reject those who want only to love and help them. In the past, when families sought understanding and help, they found there was little or none available. Now there is.”
