Way too many children in Romania have been the victims
of abandonment! Whether they spend their childhood in orphanages, family-like
care systems or whether they are in the care of an extended family, for all of
them, the word home does not exist, or it exists in a seriously distorted way.

According to official statistics, as we speak, the
parents of almost 76 thousand children work abroad. As of late, the Ombudsman,
Renate Weber, has stated the number of such children was much greater, more
than 100 thousand, which is appalling, she said, given that, for various
reasons, a great many of those children are not officially registered as such or
nobody cares about them.

Of the dozens of abandoned children, nearly 4,000 are
in 140 placement centres or thereabouts. Why did they end up being there? Giving
us an answer to this question, here is the development manager of an NGO, Hope
and Homes for Children, Robert Ion.
