i really pity orphans
Do you know that an orphan is someone without parents?
yes i know, do you have any friend who is an orphan?
No I don't have any, in some circles, only a child who has lost both parents due to death is called an orphan.
yes, i know, do we have good orphanages caring for them today?
I guess yes, the reverse is the case for animals, even though the parents are not dead, it's only when the mother leaves the child that the child becomes an animal
yes, you are right, when was orphanage home established?
i'm not sure but from all we have been saying, it's only when there is no parent alive that we can say one is an orphan
yes, so what if the parents of an adult up to 18 years dies, is that person still an orphan?
has died, a "paternal orphan" is a child whose father has died, and a "double orphan" is a child who has lost both parents. This contrasts with the older use of "half-orphan" to describe children who had lost only one parent.
Populations.
Orphans are relatively rare in developed countries, because most children can expect both of their parents to survive their childhood. Much higher numbers of orphans exist in war-torn nations such as Afghanistan.
