Russian Angels to Land in Dallas
this Summer
A group of Russian orphans will make the trip of a lifetime as they travel across the world to stay with American host families this August.
The program, called Angels from Abroad, provides older children who are available for international adoption a chance to learn about American culture, share their Russian culture and experience living in a family. It also helps raise awareness about the need for adopting older children, said Debbie Wynne, director of adoption for Dillon International’s Dallas office.
“Older children in Russian orphanages face a bleak future if they aren’t adopted,” she said. At the age of 16, children are forced to leave the orphanage system and many fall into alcohol, drugs, prostitution and crime. It is estimated nearly 10 percent commit suicide within the first three years.
