history: Hello, I just wanted to say first that I grew up in an orphanage and it was not fun.  Do you have any opinions on that?   My name is Kevin by the way. Good Morning. I do know orphanges have been closed mostly in Europe and North America. Really?  I wonder why.  Do you think its because of money issues or other issues? I don't know the reason, but I know the state-funded orphanages in the old Soviet countries are being replaced by direct payments to families and by foster care. Wow, I didn't realize that. I wonder if in other parts of Europe they're still funded by the state. I spent my childhood in one.
knowledge: Few large international charities continue to fund orphanages; however, they are still commonly founded by smaller charities and religious groups.
