Dear Adoption Options Families:
As some of you may know, we have done adoptions from Kyrgyzstan, but this program has been on hold for almost two years pending the implementation of new adoption laws and regulations. Unfortunately, last month the government was overthrown and Kyrgyzstan is in the process of replacing its government. We know that this delay in adoptions has caused an overflow in the orphanages. As is consistent in all countries when the country is going through difficult times the orphans suffer disproportionately. We have become aware of desperate plea from the Kyrgyzstan government for public assistance for food for the orphanages. Please read:
In children’s homes and boarding schools of Kyrgyzstan shortage of a food is observed On April, 10th 2010, 17:37
CA-NEWS (KG) – In subordinated children’s homes and in the boarding schools of the Ministry of Education a shortage of food now is observed due to the lack of financial aid.
The coordinator of the social sector, public relations and mass media of the Provisional government of Kyrgyzstan, Elmira Ibraimova addresses all businessmen and people that are not indifferent to render feasible help with this problem.
As of April, 1st, 2010 the mentioned establishments have 3776 children, girls — 1617, boys — 2159, children in special needs establishments — 2521, girls — 1084, boys — 1437, children in children’s houses-boarding schools for children-orphans — 1255, girls — 533, boys — 722.
To think of children going hungry is almost beyond comprehension. In response to this request, Adoption Options would like to sponsor a donation drive to purchase food for the children. We are asking you to consider sending money to support this effort to supply food. Adoption Options is in the process of arranging for food purchases in Kyrgyzstan for the orphanages. 100% of your donation will go towards the purchasing of the food. Please send your donations to and make checks payable to:
Adoption Options, Inc.
note: Kyrgyzstan Orphan Relief
411 Camino Del Rio South, Suite 200
San Diego, CA 92108
In the meantime Adoption Options will be contacting the US State Department for assistance in assuring that we can get the relief to the orphanage. Unfortunately, since Kyrgyzstan is so poor, we need to make certain your donations do not get intercepted and used for something else. We appreciate your consideration of this issue. Also please consider reaching out to others to help such as schools, churches, etc. Let us all, who know how important these children are, offer our help to these children in need.
Warm regards,
Brent E Yoder
Executive Director
