I would imagine that most children who fall through the cracks in the US are children who have mental or physical health problems, and parents who want a pretty shiny new baby don't want a six year old who has severe emotional scarring from an abusive family situation, so those kids go through foster care until they're 18 and often times end up in poverty. Probably via Russian adoption they can get a baby without a lot of emotional/physical baggage.
