老外收养中国孤儿也很不容易，手续繁琐，费用很高，还要等好几年。所以提出申请的一般都是非常爱小孩儿而且有一定经济条件的人。就像那个小女孩，养父母那么疼爱她，肯定比在孤儿院要幸福一万倍！

Therefore, those who apply generally really love children and have a certain level of economic security. It's just like that little girl. Her foster parents love her so deeply. It's definitely much, much better than living in an orphanage!

还有，用词不要太繁琐。你这次就用了太多的修饰。其实说的都是同样的内容，没有多大意义。很多段落都要压缩一下。

Also, don't let your wording get too detailed. This time you used too many modifiers. It's actually all saying the same thing, so it doesn't mean much. Many of the paragraphs need to be condensed some.
