Orphanage Observation

This summer we were able to visit with some special friends.  These families all include children who grew up in the same orphanage where G used to live.

One thing I noticed again when talking to other adoptive moms is how often their children report that, in an orphanage, the other children were mean to them.  I just don't hear about children describing their orphanage as a safe, kind place.

It's hard to pause and consider how many children today are growing up in orphanages, even the "better ones."

Children need families.

Just sayin'.
