Life / Orphanages in Poland [82]

Hi all,

For a story in a Dutch magazine I am looking for Polish orphanages. Since I do not speak Polish it's difficult to find websites that are available in English. The story is about children who are left on their own when their parents leave for other European countries because of work. From what I have heard and read, many orphanages are filled with left-alone children, which is not good, of course. We want to see for ourselves how the situation is, but could therefore really use some information. So if anyone that speaks Polish could send me some names/e-mailadresses of Polish orphanages that would really help.

Thanks for your reply. Too bad that the orphanages are not eager to get in touch with foreigners. However I'd like to point out that I do not want to adopt a child, but find out more about migrating Polish who supposedly leave their children.

These kids need loving homes, the sad part is, that the adoption process in Poland is insanely long, and many families drop out somewhere down the line.

Thanks for this useful information. I believe that many children are left with family members, but it seems many children are also left with orphanages. But to be sure of this I'd need more stories on that.

@wildrover: could you contact me by email? I tried to contact you but need four posts for that.
