Hi Im in orphan. Both my parents died when i was young.
That's unfortunate. What are orphanages like?
Orphanages are okay in the UNited States. You usually get taken in by a family for a little while. It can be lonely.
How long have they existed?
In the United States since the industrial revolution officially.
Do they ever get overcrowded?
Yes, especially notable orphanages where many famous poeple have actually been housed as children.
Is it possible to live well in an orphanage?
yes, but since most kids are sad about losing thier parents, it is often not the happiest place.
