Children in care are the victims of their parents’ circumstances. Today we speak of homes and not orphanages.

Not all homes have an age limit of 16. Modern practice has seen an increase in Maltese homes not putting an age limit so that emphasis is now being placed on the effective readiness of the individual to leave the home.

Children need stability and not the drama of parents who don’t have time for them. adoption by more stable couples or individuals would offer a tremendous jump in these children’s quality of life.

Because nature intended otherwise, but I will agree with you regarding single women.
