Anywhere there is Food, Clothing, Friendlyness and Love. Last time I checked Russians where still Communists and kid where still kids.

You are doing the angels' work. I salute you. I wish I had money to send you.

I saw an orphange in Biisk and the kids were so small for their age that it hurt you to know it.

You are doing the angels' work.

So many people in such great need. It can be very overwhelming. But, like the story of the person saving a few of the thousands of starfish tossed on to a beach, each of us can help a few others.

I hope, like me, others will go to the web site listed and add what they can.

Russskies are not communists ... but they are nationalists. Their present economy is oil driven, and the more the price goes up up up, the more we will hear their bellicosity.

wow, i have not had a chance to use that word in few moons

Surely, money helps these kids, but what they need most is parents. There are literally hundreds of thousands of Russian orphans in need of families. Adoption isn't for every family--I don't think it's for one family in 50. But for that family and the child/ren they adopt, it can be wonderful.

excuse me ronald young, your comment made ZERO sense. the POINT is that they are children-orphaned children who need help. With all the resources you "americans" have, you'd think that you would be more willing to help others all around the world. Just think, if you could get off your lazy butt and help someone else, the world would be a better place. true, their economy is not perfect, but when was the last time you checked up on who our president is? and what he has led us to? besides, these CHILDREN have no say in their government, so why should you reprimand and ignore them when their leaders make bad choices? please, for once in your life think about the less fortunate, and TRY not to be so selfish. we may just be one country, but we only have....one world. amen.

all i want to say is: a child in need--is a child! in deed. peace to all, i love flowers, my "in deed" children. we all have needs, man. not everyone can be a mother!!!

To whom it may concern Stephen Morgan: indeed, parents are good to have in life. But if you'd go on the website, you'd see that they aren't just trying to take your money away. They said that they will provide opportunities to have contact with these children through letters or through actual trips to their orphanage. Actually adopting a child from Russia takes a lot of time and effort and money because there are issues with citizenship, visas, and etcetera. This group seems to be doing the best they can with the little funding that they have. I say, full speed ahead. may God be with you.

My close friends (Rich and Stephanie Haynes, Roseville, CA) had personally taken in this large group during their California stay. The Haynes’ housed, fed, and entertained this visiting group. They all stayed in my home in San Jose for one night as well. It’s an inspiration to see the kindness of these host families helping the significantly less-fortunate. It had a deep enough impact that we have donated money to the orphanage fund and will continue to do so annually. I encourage others to do the same!

I adopted a beautiful little girl from Russia six years ago. The orphanages are horrible places for children to grow up. My husband and I have sent donations to our daughter’s orphanage. I wish I could do more. After being in an orphanage, it leaves a scar in your heart. Looking at the young innocent faces with no certain future kills you. All these children want is a family and love. Which is every person’s birth rite yet, these innocent children seem to have no rights at all. God bless every person who reaches out to the less fortunate and holds out a hand to help.
