US: U.S. families mid-adoption are trying to get Afghan children out (Includes video)
Associated Press – August 18, 2021
It’s unclear how many among the throngs of people trying to flee Afghanistan include potential adoptive children. Mary King, executive director of Frank Adoption Center in Wake Forest, North Carolina, is working with families and said they had full permission from Afghan courts to bring the children to the U.S. and finalize the adoptions. They were awaiting U.S. visas, but everything changed in the past few days. U.S. adoptions from Afghanistan are relatively rare compared with adoptions from other countries, according to State Department data.
