It might look like a dream or ideals personified but a simple thing, a thought has become an idea. With population explosion there are many families and many children. Crime and dissillusionment are partners in crime. Couples with no children or no scope for children may still be parents of a parentless child. I did not chose the word "orphan" because it looks like a hopeless word. A child new born and left to face life even when it does not know survival needs a home. Single child parents, opting for adoption, only when they can be generously open minded, can bring a lot of happiness into the life of their biological child as well as the adopted. Children growing with siblings are prone to be sharing and caring. Upbringing too has its role.
I have something else to say here. I know one man who has adopted a child for her life time and yet she stays with her biological parents. I dont have to say this is a "girl child".
Families who nurture babies until they are born (thanks to certain laws against scanning for gender revealation) have no qualms to leave the child homeless knowing its a GIRL.
I am no feminist. a child is a child. An innocent smile easy to bind a human in tight knots of love. YET, with a lot of exposure to the world and its ways people imagine they are forced to be people they are and have become thick skinnes to a tender smile.
Bonding is such a difficult thing, even when everyone is stranger, even when known.
..... all because wordsworth said ..... there is no time to stand and stare.... even to know self.
