I would argue that the ability to form close relationships may be less important than learning how to function in society, and ultimately having the ability to take care of oneself.

If you have ever known a child with Attachment Disorder, you would know that the two are inseparable. That said, there is no reason a healthy attachment cannot be made with the people who work with the children in orphanages. They are not all Miss Hannigan/Miss Asthma.

I have met adults with attachment issues, that also suffer from features of borderline personality disorders andas sad as their inability to maintain relationships may be... They often focus their energizes on career and hobbies. They are however not in jail. I agree that orphanages do allow for attachment...I just see too many children growing up in disfunctional low SES households unable to cope with life.
