Almost all of the Jewish children who are available domestically -- and there are very few -- have significant special needs.

Most Jewish families choose to adopt a child who was not born to a Jewish mother, either domestically or internationally, and to take the child through the simple conversion process.

Some Orthodox families actually prefer this approach, as the laws of mamzerut won't apply, regardless of the circumstances of the child's birth.
