"...orphanages mostly come from a family generally for whom Make up, shopping, love for animal and books and time to dream is not a possibility. They have such hard lives, a life an American CAN NOT fathom untill he visits our country. It comes as a shock to most people. My American friend was shocked at the children begging..."

I wasn't born yesterday! I do know how tough life is in other countries. I've traveled to third world countries and have seen the horrible conditions in which people live in. Culture shock is bad enough, but the culture shock when returning to America is worse-because it eventually goes away and you forget.
And as for me talking about my mother and wishes about her, I'm not stupid-I know we would have never shared that in India. I probably would have died before the age of 5 considering where I lived and the circumstances.

and amyfk, I actually have my father's name and address, but have yet to send my letter to him.
