Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaitė has submitted to the Seimas (Parliament) legislative initiatives encouraging and expediting childcare in families and group homes, as well as adoption. At this time, there are about 10,000 children without parental care in Lithuania.

The president's initiative contributed to the "Country Without Orphanages" movement organized by Lithuanian NGOs.
