The paper notes that in 2013 the number of children with disabilities who were adopted by Russians increased twofold due to strengthening of the social support to adopting families. However, according to the sociological survey conducted in 2013 by the Fund of support for children in difficult circumstances, Russian citizens are not ready to raise adopted children.
