About the greatful orphan myth...
I recently saw something on tv that really didn't sit well with me. It was a documentary on Russia, I think it was called Siberia, but I'm not sure. Anyways, it briefly touched on children in Russian orphanages and they had a girl who was adopted by an American couple read a speech about how grateful she is that she was adopted and taken out of her orphanage to have a better life and so on. Just really rubbed me the wrong way.
