A heartbreaking, yet common sight in Bangkok :(
I took this photo late, on my way back to my hotel for the night. How is this even legal?
It costs upwards of $22,000 to adopt a Thai child. Applicants must be married and under 40. I’m constantly amazed by how difficult it is to adopt, when so many kids clearly need homes.

That’s so tragic. The international adoption laws in several countries are so stringent. And then you see little angels like this and it’s heartbreaking. You just want to take her home, give her a nice bubble bath, fill her belly with good food, put her in some warm, soft jammies and snuggle her all night long. :(

I have a daughter who looks about the same age. So very sad… Emma
