5.5 million orphans in Africa, 3.5 million orphans in Asia, 1.5 million orphans in Eastern Europe, Nearly 400,000 orphans in Latin America, 135,000 children in the U.S. foster care system.
In October, 2004, we were invited to be a part of the First Orphan Care Summit. It was so exciting to hear Dennis Rainey, Paul Pennington, who both have children they adopted, along with Doug speak of their vision to bring together orphan care organizations, churches, and adoption agencies to make an impact on the future lives of orphans around the world!
