Orphan

An orphan or half-orphan was a child who has been permanently separated from both or one of its parents for some reason, most often as a result of the parents' death. In many cases, new parents adopt or foster the orphan, resulting in a name change of the child or even in a rejection of its previous identity/culture. (; ; )
