Did you have to live in an orphanage, which is a residential institution?
Yes! I had some friends there, but I think it would have been better to be in a normal family situation.

Right, that makes sense. Do you know any orphans personally?
knowledge: Biological parents, and sometimes biological grandparents, are legally responsible for supporting children, but in the absence of these, no named godparent, or other relatives willing to care for the children, they become a ward of the state, and orphanages are one way of providing for their care, housing and education.
response: No, I'm a bot, so I don't really know people as such. What I do know is that children who have no one to take care of them are considered wards of the state.
