The positive impact of orphanage in the community
Answers
Explanation:
As an adoptive parent, or as a professional working with post-institutionalized internationally adopted children, it is important to be thinking about the impact of the world in which that child lived prior to being adopted. The child may have lived with a foster care family rather than in an orphanage. In others, the child will have known only one or several institutions. In those institutions, the child may have been unable to have met her needs for food, attention, touch, and comfort when in pain. Over time, she may have learned not to look for those needs to be met and may have come to distrust the adults in his or her world. Also, the child may have experienced neglect, poor nutrition, lack of stimulation, and potential for attachment, inconsistent caregivers, and various forms of traumatic experiences including physical abuse, sexual abuse, and witnessing of violence toward others (including other children). Parents need to understand a child’s orphanage life in order to understand what makes their child think and behave the way she does. It is very hard to help a child join a family without being fully aware of her history. In general, what might a child’s life have been in an orphanage? Even the best institutions have the following:
• uneducated or minimally trained caregivers
• rotating caregivers on shifts
• abrupt transfers to different orphanages or sections of an orphanage
• loss of peers as those children are adopted or transferred
• limited language interaction with adults
• regimented daily activities: eating, sleeping, toileting at the same time each day
• lack of spontaneous activities
• absence of personal possessions
• limited activities to develop motor skills–no use of markers, pencils, equipment
• exposure to toxins, including lead
