Bolivian Kids in Need of Help

We have a family friend in Bolivia who has two children, ages 15 months and 4 years old. His wife, mother of the two children, recently abonded them and no reference of her whereabouts. Our friend, the father of the children, is currently unemployed and and unable to properly care for the children. I would really like to help, but I find it dificult due to the distance between us. He also shared that he may not have a place to live soon, and it worries me to know that the children maybe homeless and exposed to danger. I am 31 years, married with 5 children of my own. However, I would love to care for these children until our friend is able to support and care for his children again. Would you please advice me what I should do to bring them here with me?? If adoption is too complicated, would I be able to obtain temporary legal custody? How can we obtain their visas? Any guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank you and God bless.
