How To Adopt A Child Who Has Been Orphaned In The Wake Of A Natural Disaster

How do I adopt a child who has been orphaned in the wake of a natural disaster?

It's a wonderful and a very human impulse after a natural disaster to see the children and want to provide homes for them. However, adoptions after a natural disaster usually don't take place, for a variety of reasons. In the wake of a natural disaster, what officials want to do is have the children actually remain in the country or state where they live, because it's important for them to remain in familiar surroundings. In addition, because of the chaos that ensues after a natural disaster, there are children who at first may appear to be orphans but may well not be, because it simply takes time to locate their biological parents. That's another reason adoption immediately after a natural disaster is discouraged.
