Orphanage is the name to describe a residential institution devoted to the care of orphans – children whose parents are deceased or otherwise unable to care for them. Parents, and sometimes grandparents, are legally responsible for supporting children, but in the absence of these or other relatives willing to care for the children, they become a ward of the state, and orphanages are a way of providing for their care and housing. Children are educated within or outside of the orphanage. Orphanages provide an alternative to foster care or adoption by giving orphans a community-based setting in which they live and learn. In the worst cases, orphanages can be dangerous and unregulated places where children are subject to abuse and neglect. Today, the term orphanage has negative connotations. Other alternative names are group home, children's home, rehabilitation center and youth treatment center. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by pretty_in_pink - Fri Aug 22 14:10:37 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Short answer - usually the mother's surname. Longer answer - What country are you thinking of? The answer may vary because of that. But in general, kids are put into the care of the state for many reasons. Few kids are simply abandoned as infants with no clue as to who their parents are. Perhaps the parents died or the state had to take the children for abuse or neglect. The idea that most kids don't get adopted (or end up in some kind of more permanent situation like a guardianships) will also vary by country and the child's situation. For instance, infants are more likely to be adopted than teens with mental health issues. Answered by cinnea - Fri Aug 22 14:20:35 2008 Is it possible to adopt a child from an orphanage? Q.
