The study found that many aren't orphans.

“Growing up in a family, however it is constructed, usually leads to the healthiest children across all areas of development,” says Lindsay Stark, associate professor of Population and Family Health who directed the study. “If a large part of an entire generation is being institutionalized, we need to understand the implications for children, and what that will mean when they become adults.”
