You are so right! There are so many orphans in our own country, and so many kids who are shuttled from foster home to foster home. Why don't people help those in need in our own country first? If a relative was in need, would you not help that person and instead go help someone in another country? A friend of mine finally ended up adopting two sisters from Chile because she and her husband had unsuccessfully tried to adopt here. I understand that completely. But a LOT of people, especially those high profile celebrities out there who appear to just want to virtue signal, "Look t me, look at me, I adopted black orphans from X". They could easily have helped American orphans, white, black or other. But they wanted to virtue signal about how wonderful, open, and not racist they were." Ugh!
