Of the more than 500 children who lost their parents in the May 12th earthquake, only two have been adopted, the Washington Post reports. According to China Daily, however, only one child has been adopted. As many as 88 children are in temporary care, while the rest have moved in with relatives. Despite the earlier outpouring of grief and adoption enquiries after the earthquake, many of the children are unable to find adoptive parents because they are over 10 years of age and handicapped.

I hope all the children will be adopted soon.
Both limiting criteria are not good for adoption. Over ten years old is going to be a real strain for the adopting family, especially if they are a young and inexperience family. Handicap is also a great problem as not many people would be able to provide the kind of care needed for the children to develop properly.
I hope there will be a solution soon, at least for more of the children to have a better chance in life.
