*Don't want to criticise the closing letter, but "most of them are not orphans, but are in care because their families are poor, disabled or from ethnic minorities": W.T.F??? Do they steal gypsy children away from the camps, or something? Don't want them to grow up and rob us, after all.
Many children at orphanages all over the world has at least one living parent - but a parent/s that can't take care of them for some reason. Alcoholism/drug abuse, being in jail, having left the country in search of a better life...or, as said above, disabled, or poor...the list is endless. Then we have the illegitimate children, as well as the truly unwanted in many places: handicapped children.
