Kama, you are right -- Latvian adoptions are rare. There are only about 25 children adopted from Latvia into the U.S. each year. The country is small and compared to Russia, there are not that many children in the orphanages. But they do have orphanages and there are children needing adoption. Latvians adopt most of the babies, but if you are willing to wait 2-3 years, foreigners can get little ones too. If you are looking for older children (10+), though, Latvia has plenty and the process for adopting compared to other EE countries is quick and VERY simple.
