This December 2013 photo provided by Justin Carroll shows adopted children in Kinshasa, Congo whose parents are awaiting exit permits to bring them to their new homes in the U.S. Until a suspension was announced in September 2013, the Congo had been viewed by adoption advocates in the U.S. as a promising option at a time when the overall number of international adoptions has been plummeting. The Congo accounted for the sixth highest number of adoptions by Americans in 2012 _ 240 children in all, up from 41 in 2010 and 133 in 2011. (AP Photo/Justin Carroll)
