Wishing For A Better Life At Children Homes

Children homes are foster homes for those underprivileged children who are orphans and homeless

. These institutions are dedicated to the cause of homeless children. Orphanage for children provides housing to children who do not have parents or grandparents or in other words, any legal guardian to take care of them. These foster homes provide them with basic food and shelter. Although, the healthiest living condition for a child is to live with his family.

Today, those kids, who have been abandoned by their parents or kids whose parents have lost their parental rights are also called orphans. Given below are some of reasons that lead to kids becoming orphans, despite their parents being alive.

*Poor economic situation and poverty in the family

*Parental illness which may be mental or physical

*Drug or alcohol abuse by the parents

*Mental retardation of the parents or guardian

*Incarceration

*Termination of parental rights because of neglect or abuse. This may be a court ruling.

*Complicated medical conditions that the family cannot care for and thus needs to abandon the child.

Though it must be very difficult for parents to abandon his child but circumstances of desperation and poverty are such that they are forced to resort to such extreme measures. Sometimes, a children's orphanage is the only alternative for some of these unfortunate children.

Most of the children homes are either state or central government owned institutions. These are generally, non - profit organizations and are meant for the benefit of the society. So naturally, the level of care and comfort would vary from country to country depending on its financial situation. Most of these children homes have poor hygiene and nutritional environment.

Most orphan children at these children homes are subjected to abuse, but it is still better to have a shelter than to have none. This is a major problem and has been reported for many years now. Child abuse is physical or emotional mistreatment of a child. It can have many negative effects on the psychology of the child. There are mainly four types of child abuse - physical, sexual, psychological and neglect. The main reason cited for these abuses at children homes is poverty and under qualified staff. The resources are less in comparison to the number of children. This deprives the children of proper care.

Children facing physical torture are more likely to receive fractures and may develop the risk of cancer. They also develop psychiatric problems, depression and anxiety along with other developmental and dissociative symptoms. Some may suffer from abdominal, pelvic, or muscular pain with no identifiable reason at a later stage in their lives.

Today, many non - profit organization are dedicated to the work of relieving the orphan children from the misery of an orphanage. They are helping the orphanage for children in getting corporate sponsorships as well as in adoption.
