I saw one article abut Russian orphans. It showed their facial
expressions, the difference between their facial expressions shortly
after being taken care of their foster parents and ones several years
after being in those family

The circumstance of the most orphans' homes is very bad. Most important
of all, being loved is definitely necessary for children.
I've known that the situation of orphans' homes in Russia and countries
of CIS is terrible. So after reading the article, I checked it again.
One article says that the number of orphans in Russia doesn't reduces at
all, and the main reason is destruction of families. I think it's
caused by immature country's measures.
In spite of that, Russia is planning to reduce the number of orphans'
homes in the country dramatically, and provide foster parents with the
many which was used for the orphans' homes. However, it's often the case
that people become foster parents for money. Also some children are
abused by foster parents.
The following photo is taken by TASS. I'm not sure but probably they are kids in an orphans' home in Russia.
Whenever I see children with such bright smile, I feel a pain, and I
can't help hoping that they are happy and something which makes them
unhappy never happens.
What is it I can do?
