When extreme poverty or lack of resources are available it is a viable alternative--another reason the definition of orphan must not be changed. Many of these children have families that are just too poor to rear them, they seek help because oftentimes orphanages are funded from govts or private groups--individuals are not.Jeff and Madelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330454830153579449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-56370436587829801272009-12-18T09:16:55.905-06:002009-12-18T09:16:55.905-06:00Good question, Martha.

Do the researchers think it's because the governments put adequate resources into institutional care -- or that life in these communities is so poor that the orphanages end up with better health results in contrast?Martha Nicholshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02125887259454036708noreply@blogger.com
