Did you ever thought about the life of orphans? How would they be feeling? Their challenges? Did you ever imagine helping them?

I was an orphan my friend and never adopted. It was not easy and very difficult for me. I was told early and in negative ways about not being raised by my own parents. I have to admit although I was a very insecure child as being sent from home to home was not fun.
I also used my negativity thoughts and turned them around in positive ways. As I have two children and have been a single parent for many years, I did not want my ill feelings to emanate over to my children. I have raised two wonderful and respectful children, so it really depends on the individual to want to change the pattern.
Many say it is easier said then done, however I have lived it and can say it is the will that will get you what you want.

I understand how difficult it would have been for you. I can understand even at the emotional level. But I am proud of you as you have faced the challenges, over came them and finally leading a happy life. So what more. Thats it. Some people says first and then proves it but in your case you have achieved it and uses as proof to what you say"it is the will that will get you what you want". Great.

My heart goes out to these children and the families that have had to place their children there. And yes, I have thought about their lives often, and especially in the past few years. I am sure they probably would want to be included in any family rather than an orphanage. Watching the movie "Annie" always reminds me of orphans and what their life might be like. If I could help just one, I would!

It is so kind of you that you at least have such feelings and will to help them. Help them. As of now I am just a student, I really want to help such peoples and I always like hearing from people about their willingness to do give such a help. I particularly came through the same stage and I always have heart for them.

it depends. If your orphan from the time you dont remember you just get used to it. I will enver be the same but you will get used to it. If you get into orhpanage when you are with some age and can remember it can be realy hard. There will be lot of challanges to overcome and it will haunt you for a long time. This is my response, feel free to say if you dont think im right.

No matter at what time, life of orphans are always difficult. What you mean getting used to? you mean being adopted since the time that they don't remember. So in that sense you probably mean to say that they will consider people who adopted them as their parents? In that case if they are being adopted by very kind hearted and compassionate people they won't feel the difference. So in that case you are right.
But say he or she was orphan from early age and had not been adopted by anybody, then he they will always have to face daily challenges. There won't be any thing like getting used too. They will always have feelings that they are low in society.
So we will really have to have feelings for them and help them as much as possible.

I think that adoption must be done on every orphans.
There are many orphans out there that grow up living in an orphanage with no one's adopting them. They must have felt anger and sadness because they never had parents that will love them.
I watched the Martian Child before and I like how the message or adopting conveyed in the movie.

Not only sadness, orphans feels like their world are completely shut. They don't have hopes. They don't have some body to give them fatherly or motherly love. They probably think about their mom and dad every day, if not every hour. It would be great if you any body can adopt them. But not necessarily adoption. Even simple help..will give them some hope.
