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.
