This book is the story of an orphan, a former orphanage, and about a dream to make foster care obsolete.
To be parentally poor is to be an orphan. Parental presence is more than just a biological fact; it is an active role of nurturing, teaching, and protecting. Without it, a child navigates the world alone, carries an invisible weight, and lacks the safety net that family is supposed to provide. This reality shapes how a child views their worth and often makes their other relationships emotionally fragile. While society equates orphanhood with the absence of parents, true orphanhood can exist even within a home filled with people. It’s not just the presence of parents but their ability to provide a stable, loving home that gives a child a true sense of belonging.
