It's also very difficult for foreigners to adopt Chinese orphans. The process is complex, the fees are high, and you have to wait a number of years. Therefore, those who apply generally really love children and have a certain level of economic security. It's just like that little girl. Her foster parents love her so deeply. It's definitely much, much better than living in an orphanage!
