My parents both died and I am an orphan. Do you know any orphans? There are famous writers and world leaders, entertainers that are orphans also!
I'm sorry to hear that, I don't know any orphans personally. 
Yeah, it's okay. The UN says that someone is an orphan if they were abandoned or their parents died.
That seems like a fair definition, did you live in an orphanage?
Yes I did live in a residential institution that was responsible for the care of orphans. It was a long time ago now.
