Russia is one of the most popular countries for international adoption but also one of the most difficult due to many requirements. There are over 700,000 Russian children without biological parents due to declining economic and health conditions. Russia began questioning adoption policies after a mistreated child was found in the US, threatening to ban US adoptions. The Hague Convention established international standards for adoptions but Russia has not yet signed.

An Overview of Child Support Cases in the US
The U.S. Census Bureau reports in their 2011 study that approximately 23.4 million American children (under 21 years old) live separately from one of their parents. About 14.4 million families have been living separately after divorce, with the custodial parent raising their children with personal income and child support. Here is an overview of today’s child support cases:

White House Travel Bloggers Summit - U.S. Study Abroad
Over 50% of US students expect to study abroad but less than 10% actually do. In 2012, 289,000 US students studied abroad, only 1.5% of the 20 million US students. Minority student participation in study abroad has increased but still only represents 16% of US study abroad students. While the UK remained the top destination in 2013, there was a significant increase in students studying in places like China, Brazil and other areas of Asia over the past 15 years. The document calls for efforts to focus on expanding study abroad opportunities to the 90% of US students who have not yet participated.

This study examines how family factors in high school relate to living arrangements after high school. Specifically, it analyzes whether parental socioeconomic status, generational status, and native language predict if a student lives with parents. The study uses data from the Educational Longitudinal Study of 2002 on over 10,000 10th graders. It finds that higher parental socioeconomic status, having an immigrant parent or being an immigrant, and having a non-English native language increase the likelihood a student lives with parents after high school.

Hinduism is one of the oldest organized religions in the world and the third largest. It follows sacred texts known as the Vedas and recognizes a single deity that exists in three forms - Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver, and Shiva the destroyer. Hinduism has had both positive impacts on India through its social practices like yoga and meditation and establishing religious tolerance, as well as negative impacts through enforcing the caste system and causing issues like poverty and violence against women.

Can U.S. officials restore order at the Southern border?
By Val Ellicott
The number of Central American migrant families seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border has surged to
historic levels, leading to overcrowding at migrant detention centers and reports of hungry children living in
filthy conditions at border stations. President Trump’s critics blame his immigration policies, including his efforts
to make it more difficult for migrants to win asylum. The president counters that Democratic lawmakers are at
fault for refusing to close loopholes in immigration law that he says allow many migrants to enter the country
without proper vetting. Administration officials have taken aggressive steps to deter migrants from traveling to
the border, largely by making it harder for them to win asylum, but courts have blocked some of those efforts.

station in Clint, Texas, where lawyers said detained migrant children were being held in filthy
conditions. Border Patrol officials disputed their account. (Getty Images/Mario Tama)
Hispanic migrants, mostly from Central America, continue to overwhelm U.S. immigration facilities along the
border with Mexico, creating what federal officials describe as a humanitarian and border security crisis.
In June, immigration officials took 104,334 migrants into custody at the border, marking the fourth consecutive
month the number has topped 100,000. The number of migrants detained in June was 28 percent below the
144,278 taken into custody in May, which U.S. officials said reflects efforts by Mexico to crack down on
northward migration from Central America. May’s number was the highest monthly total since March 2006. It
encompassed 132,887 migrants who crossed the border without documents and 11,391 deemed inadmissible
at a U.S. port of entry. Honduran and Guatemalan families with children led the surge.
“We are bursting at the seams,” Randy Howe, executive director of operations at the U.S. Customs and Border
Protection’s (CPB) Office of Field Operations, said in June. “It’s unsustainable and this can’t continue.”
The surge has filled border detention centers beyond capacity and left U.S. officials struggling to meet
migrants’ medical needs. In June, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials ordered more than
5,000 adults quarantined after outbreaks of mumps and chickenpox at migrant detention facilities.

A Treacherous Journey -
CGRS and Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) have collaborated to produce an important report urging lawmakers to reform the U.S. immigration system for migrant children who are coming to our borders with surging frequency. They come, often unaccompanied by an adult, in search of safety, stability, and protection. These children face a system that was created for adults, does not provide them legal counsel, and is not required to consider the child’s best interests, despite the potentially enormous impact of the proceedings on the child’s life and future.

The document discusses the negative impacts of deporting immigrant parents on their families and U.S. citizen children. Deportations have risen significantly in recent years, separating hundreds of thousands of families. When parents are deported, their citizen children often face economic hardship, emotional distress, and psychological trauma. Some children are left in foster care or even adopted, which can permanently separate families. Recent legislation and policies have made it more difficult for parents to avoid deportation even if they have citizen children. A proposed bill called the Child Citizen Protection Act aims to give judges discretion to prevent deportations that would harm citizen children.

Facts and details
The document summarizes China's one-child policy, which was introduced in 1979 to reduce China's population growth. It discusses how the policy was enforced through a bureaucracy that monitored families and imposed fines or forced abortions/sterilizations for extra children. It also notes issues that arose, such as families hiding undocumented children or skirting the rules in other ways. Some children of parents who broke the rules were allegedly taken and sold to orphanages for international adoption, victimizing vulnerable families. In general, the policy was intended to control population but its stringent enforcement sometimes caused human rights issues.

** Summary:
Since 1972 until 2008, the rate of pregnancy and abortion among teenagers in the United States decreased significantly, and the rate of contraceptive use increased. In 2008, which is the most recent year that the Guttmacher researchers looked at government statistics on teen-age sex, pregnancies, births and abortion. They found that nearly 750,000 U.S. women under the age of 20 became pregnant in 2008, nearly 98 percent of them between the ages of 15 and 19. In 2008 the rate of teen abortion had decreased since 1972. The researchers and analyzers think the percentage decreased because both male and female teens used contraception. The researchers found that teen who had pregnancies and abortions between the ages of 15to 17 may be affected long-term. This long-term affect could show as a decline in their sexual activity. However, Racial and ethnic disparities are still seen in the African American communities. They found that the abortion rate is still two to four times that of their white peers. In addition, in 2008 they found the birth rates for Hispanic and black teens were more than twice those of the counterpart, and the Hispanic teen abortion rate were twice as high as the rate of white peers and black teen abortion rate were four times higher than the rate of the Caucasian.
** Quotations:
1. The researcher said that the disparities between race affect the teens and make them abort a fetus:
But disparities among racial and ethnic groups continued to persist, with black and Hispanic teens experiencing pregnancy and abortion rates two to four times higher than their white peers, the Guttmacher Institute, the nonprofit sexual health research group that conducted the analysis, said.
2. The percentage of the teens pregnant decreased because teen are more alert, to the use of contraceptives “The teen abortion rate in 2008 dropped to the lowest rate seen since 1972 at 17.8 per 1,000 teen girls and women, the analysis found, and was down 59 percent from 1988 when the abortion rate peaked at 43.5 per 1,000 teen women. The Guttmacher researchers said the decline in teen birthrates was largely attributable to increased contraceptive use by teens of both genders.”
** Paraphrasing:
Original paragraph:
The Guttmacher researchers said the decline in teen birthrates was largely attributable to increased contraceptive use by teens of both genders. Among women aged 15 to 17, about a quarter of the long-term decline in pregnancies, births and abortions could be attributable to reduced sexual activity, the researchers said.

Presentation_on_Youth_Issues_to_the_Human_Rights_Committee
Joliz Cedeno, representing several youth organizations, presented to the UN Human Rights Committee on inequities in education, healthcare, and discipline facing young people in the United States. She described significant funding disparities between wealthy and low-income school districts, resulting in poorer educational resources and facilities for minority students. Harsh zero-tolerance discipline policies also disproportionately impact minority youth, pushing some into the juvenile justice system. Additionally, recent Medicaid cuts threaten healthcare access for millions of poor children, contradicting claims that the US provides free healthcare to all children. The organizations urged the Committee to hold the US accountable for protecting children's rights under international law.
P rethinking china's one child policy
The one-child policy in China has led to unintended consequences over the past 30 years such as a gender imbalance and declining fertility rate. While the policy was introduced to curb population growth, experts now believe the fertility rate has fallen below replacement level and the gender imbalance means tens of millions of Chinese men may not find wives by 2020. Some are calling for changes to the policy to address these issues and encourage couples to have more children.
Alone or loved
This document discusses orphan statistics globally and in the US, types and costs of adoption, and restrictions on adoption. It notes that in the US, 70% of children under 18 are orphans, while in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia there are around 28.5 million and 20.3 million orphans respectively. Agency and independent adoptions are described along with typical costs ranging from $20,000-$50,000 depending on location. Restrictions include requirements regarding adopting parents' background, permissions, and the agency approval process. Both arguments for and against adoption are presented.
ED 135 Session 9 Child Welfare--Family Separation
This document discusses the history and impacts of family separation policies in the United States. It notes that millions of African American children were separated during slavery, Native American children were sent to boarding schools, and Japanese families were interned during WWII. More recently, over 2,000 immigrant children have been separated from their parents at the US-Mexico border annually. The document outlines the risks of family separation, including physical and mental health impacts as well as increased risks of conditions like heart disease, depression, and PTSD for children. It discusses alternatives needed to prioritize child welfare over deterrence for asylum-seeking families.

Amid Refugee Debate, Unaccompanied Syrian Children
Have Willing US Families Ready To Foster, Experts Say
BY MORGAN WINSOR @MORGANWINSOR ON 11/20/15 AT 12:30 PM
After the haunting image of a drowned Syrian refugee boy lying facedown on a Turkish
beach emerged in September, the phone lines at the Lutheran Immigrant and Refugee
Service started ringing virtually nonstop with a much higher volume of calls than usual.
Dozens of American parents and families were calling the Baltimore-based voluntary
resettlement agency asking if they could foster Syrian refugee children in need of homes.
“The flood of parents who wanted to foster was astonishing and heartwarming,”
Kimberly Haynes, director of child services at the agency, said. “The reality on the
ground is, people are empathetic and really have a heart for wanting to provide a home
for these kids. We’ve seen a spike in foster-family interest.”
Those sentiments, however, aren’t reflected in legislation passed Thursday in the
U.S. House of Representatives. The bill, an effort to halt President Barack Obama’s
program allowing Syrian refugees into the United States until key national security
agencies confirm they don’t pose a security risk, was passed by 242 Republicans and 47
Democrats. Last week's terrorist attacks in Paris, for which the Islamic State group
claimed responsibility, have stirred fears that radicalized youth will infiltrate the flow of
Syrian refugees accepted into the United States. A Syrian passport was found near the
body of one of the suicide bombers involved in those attacks.
In reality, experts said, few Syrian children will be accepted for refugee status in the
United States, and it could take years before they are resettled on American soil, due to
extensive security screening. The process is even more difficult for those who arrive
without parents or family.
More than 4 million Syrians -- half of them children -- have fled the war-torn Middle
East country since conflict broke out nearly five years ago, the United Nations Children’s
Fund said in September. The agency reported in 2014 that 8,000 children had fled Syria
without their parents -- a number that has likely surged since violence intensified this
year. In September, Obama called for his administration to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees
into the country during the current fiscal year, though he did not specify how many would
be children.
Republican New Jersey Gov. and presidential hopeful Chris Christie said the U.S. should
not accept any new Syrian refugees, not even young orphans. "I do not trust this
administration to effectively vet the people who are proposed to be coming in," he said in
an interview Monday with radio host Hugh Hewitt. When asked if he would make an
exception for "orphans under the age of 5," Christie said no.
"The fact is that we need appropriate vetting," he said, "and I don't think orphans under 5
... should be admitted into the United St.
