The Facts About Russian Orphans
There are approximately 15,000 children that leave orphanages each year once they finish the 9th grade. They are usually 16-18 years old.
Of these children:
50% - fall into a high-risk category (ie. prostitution)
40% - become drug users
40% - commit crimes
10% - commit suicide
Only 10% of Russian orphans adapt to somewhat “normal” lives in Russia.
