Adoption agencies are working around the clock to find a way to move orphans in Ukraine to a safer country or even to a permanent home with the families still anxiously waiting.
"The oldest one we do have some communication with although we haven't been able to reach her for the last several days. The younger two, we have no way of communicating with them," Amy said. "So it's been terrifying watching the news, seeing what's happening, knowing that they're there. The oldest told us the plane was shot down just over her orphanage. They were in the basement. She's scared.
"What they can do is be active in terms of even reaching out to their congress people, trying to say what can the U.S. do should the children be able to get across the borders?" Winger said. Photos taken inside an orphanage in Ukraine this week show children hiding in a basement during shelling. Adoption agencies told me they are working around the clock to find a way to move these orphans to a safer country or even to a permanent home with the families still anxiously waiting.
"I cannot find words to express my level of concern," Benz said. "We actually have vehicles on the ground right now to pick children up from their orphanages near Kyiv."Children can be emotionally affected by tragic events regardless of how far away they happen. So adults should be willing to have tough conversations with kids about Ukraine, the pandemic, natural disasters, and more.
