I have no doubts there are orphans in the world and I have found information that tells me so. But try to get involved and contact the organization or site putting that information on the Internet and request permission to publish that information at your own Domain and you have a problem. I really wanted to help these children, especially the ones in Russia because there are some very disturbing stories of what is happening to these children. But when I contacted the people who put up the sites, virtually all sites contacted did the same thing--99% of them did not respond or would not give permission to publish the information telling us how bad things are. So, it is obvious that if there is a big problem with the orphans of the world, part of the problem lies with the people who are supposed to be helping them and putting up web sites telling us they need help. Someone, somewhere needs to get their act together and if you are an organization working with children and want to help them, then DO IT! Do not publish information about how bad things are and how much they need this and that, and then turn your back on some of the offers of help. That is not only disgusting but does not do the children any good.

I will pray to God that He helps these children and I will pray and pray and pray for them because they need help. I will pray for those who are putting up web sites and then doing a halfway job of doing what needs to be done.

The orphans in Russia need help as much or more than other parts of the world. So do the children that are left to die. I wanted to put the information about those children left to die on a new site I am creating at one of my own domains, but no one seems to care enough to respond, or the e-mail address did not work, or some other problem exists.

We ALL need to get involved in this and we need to take note of this growing problem. But we do not need organizations and people out there who are not giving us the full story or allowing some of the offers of help to actually get involved. To turn the help away is to mock everything you are trying to do and is also mocking the children who need the help.

May God have mercy on the organizations I contacted who refused to respond and who ignored the offers of help. I will pray for those who are not acting in the best interests of the children.

I have heard from some veterans who wanted me to write this because they have encountered the same thing I have and with the things the way they are in Iraq, more children in the world will be needing help soon.

Thank all of you for listening.
