Tobey and Todd Thurston hold a portrait of Mahesh Paratan, 10, a young boy from Hyderabad, India who they're trying to adopt on April 11, 2014 in Lynchburg, Va. By the end of the year, they hope Mahesh will be living in their home on Winebarger Circle near Wards Road — which would make them one of only a couple hundred Virginia families likely to internationally adopt this year. In 2013, the number of overseas adoptions in the state dropped to 254 — the lowest level they've been in 14 years. (AP Photo/News & Daily Advance, Autumn Parry)
