“Not Orphan Enough”

A Duke University study concluded that children who live in an orphanages fare as well, physically and emotionally, as children in family homes. Upon hearing this, the Gosselins’ 8 children all moved to an orphanage.

The university’s biggest challenge for the study was to travel back in time 60 years to find an orphanage.

The study’s methods may be called into question, since their research included the observation that Little Orphan Annie sang and danced just as well at Miss Hannigan’s orphanage as she did at Daddy Warbucks’ mansion.

This research is being viewed with such skepticism that Duke University is putting the whole department up for adoption.
