I ASSUMED an orphan was a child who had lost BOTH parents. However, I was wrong. According to the UN, an orphan is a child who has lost ONLY ONE parent.
From Wikipedia, "Various groups use different definitions to identify orphans. One legal definition used in the United States is a minor bereft through "death or disappearance of, abandonment or desertion by, or separation or loss from, both parents".[5] In the common use, an orphan does not have any surviving parent to care for him or her. However, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS), and other groups label any child that has lost one parent as an orphan. In this approach, a maternal orphan is a child whose mother has died, a paternal orphan is a child whose father has died, and a double orphan has lost both parents.[6] This contrasts with the older use of half-orphan to describe children that had lost only one parent.[7]"

This is the guidelines from UNICEF approved in 2009: https://www.unicef.org/protection/alternative_care_Guidelines-English.pdf

Apparently, a country can declare you an orphan if you do not have the correct parenting.
Someone could sure have access to many children under these guidelines.

This is the blog I was reading when I discovered that an orphan was not what I assumed. It is from someone who works at "Second Mile" Orphanage in Haiti...probably one of the good ones. It is an interesting and recent(6/16) read about the number of orphanages in Haiti:

If this is old news or I am wrong about this, please accept my apology. I searched and didn't find anything else on this.
