According to Omorere, “I am an insider, I can tell you authoritatively that the rate of child adoption is on the rise annually in Delta State. Currently, the number of persons that applied for adoption is more than the number of children available for adoption.”

Adding, “Reasons being that a lot of people have medical issues while some attributed their travails to spiritual problems, so they cannot have children.”
