Shanghaiist reports that only two orphans who lost their parents in the May earthquakes in China have been adopted, out of more than 500, though some reports even say that only one has been adopted.
Though as many as over 400 are thought to have moved in with relatives, 88 are still, in temporary care, despite the earlier outpouring of grief. It is reckoned that many of the children are unable to find adoptive parents because they are over 10 years of age and handicapped.

This is incredibly sad. If I was grown up enough to look after another human being (I struggle looking after myself) I'd be there in a shot to help some of these children find families. I'm surprised that the after-effects of this disaster aren't more widely reported.
