Three months after the disaster, Japan's government is still counting the number of children like Sayaka who have lost either one or both parents. The government estimates 1,200 children lost one parent and 200 lost both. These children will either end up living with distant relatives or place in a Japanese orphanage -- but many orphanages across the nation are at full occupancy.
In America I read about couples waiting years to adopt a child, which kind of left me with the impression that the demand for adoption here exceeds the supply of adoptable kids.
