When did orphanage get such a negative connotation?! It sure beats, by a mile, a lot of alternatives. Ferrying kids from foster home to foster home is unsettling and breaks up siblings in some cases. In an orphanage, it seems like there would be more oversight and at least siblings would be able to stick together.

I agree with you.
I am also not generally in favor of adoption. I wrote a book on my own adoption experience in fact. It is class-ism and paternalism in many cases.
BUT I am too tired to get into all of that tonight.
