ORPHANS, DISPLACED AND ABANDONED CHILDREN 
SEC. 681. Of the funds appropriated under title III 
of this Act, $3,000,000 should be made available for activi-
ties to improve the capacity of foreign government agencies 
and nongovernmental organizations to prevent child aban-
donment, address the needs of orphans, displaced and aban-
doned children and provide permanent homes through fam-
ily reunification, guardianship and domestic adoptions: 
Provided, That funds made available under title III of this 
Act should be made available, as appropriate, consistent 
with— 
(1) the goal of enabling children to remain in the 
care of their family of origin, but when not possible, 
placing children in permanent homes through adop-
tion; 
(2) the principle that such placements should be 
based on informed consent which has not been in-
duced by payment or compensation; 
(3) the view that long-term foster care or institu-
tionalization are not permanent options and should 
be used when no other suitable permanent options are 
available; and 
(4) the recognition that programs that protect 
and support families can reduce the abandonment 
and exploitation of children.
