Orphans… children without parents or simply deserted.
How cruel can one be?
Don’t they realize what they are doing?
Don’t they realize how it pains the children?
To be deserted of a family,
with a caring mother,
and a strong, protective father,
and a brother or sister to laugh with.
To deprive a child of a lifetime of belonging and sharing,
is so cold and heartless.

And to say that they were deserted as a child,
is an even bigger cop out!
They should remember how it felt
and obviously still feels.
Remember, please,
orphans are children who have been deprived of love.
