The childrens homes here are more like long term day care centers and it is truly sad many of these kids not getting the opportunity of a family. They have some dumb ass concept here that as long as Mommy or Daddy shows up every six months and pats junior on the head then the child is not abandoned and/or then can not be available for adoption and so the child spends its entire childhood (in many cases) stuck in the center. Who suffers in the end?
