I know of charitable organizations that are seeing as many children as there have been in the past. I know our daughter's SWI recently moved to a larger facility due to increased number of children (NSN children). I know our agency director was recently at an SWI where there were over 90 toddlers/babies who were NSN--and that SWI was submitting 3 children's paperwork to the CCAA.

Are you familar with the child trafficking scandal in the Hunan Province. If SWIs are buying children on the black market, it would seem to suggest a shortage.

A large number of children at an SWI could simply mean that they are waiting on paperwork. Some of those 90 children could be getting adopted domestically.OTOH if they were adopted internationally the SWI would be about $270,000 better off.
