H****** asked:
Does it encourage poor parents to abandon their children to ‘orphanages’?
ETA This is the view of the ‘Save the Children’ Charity who say there has been an increase in children being placed in orphanages in the hope that some rich Americans will come adopt them. So if Randy’s right and their not doing that in high numbers, there are more children festering in orphanages as a direct result, right?
