Related: About this forumMother Teresa’s orphanages end adoptions because of new liberal rules in India
NEW DELHI Thirty orphanages run by the group founded by Mother Teresa have decided to shutter their adoption services in India rather than comply with a new government system that makes it easier for single and divorced people to adopt children.
We have already shut our adoption services, because we believe our children may not receive real love, said Sister Amala at Nirmala Shishu Bhawan, a New Delhi orphanage run by the Missionaries of Charity. We do not wish to give children to single parents or divorced people. It is not a religious rule but a human rule. Children need both parents, male and female. That is only natural, isnt it?

I can't think of any reason why Monster Theresa should be discussed today. Can you?

Hmmm?
