The Orphans' Angel

I don't think I'll ever forget hearing for the first time about the Romanian orphanages, a horror that came to light after the country's dictator, Nicolae Ceausescu, was overthrown and the rest of the world got its first glimpses of what daily life had really been like under his rule. Twenty-three years later, where are those discarded children, now adults? And who is the man who stayed to help them long after so many others threw up their hands and moved on?: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-22987447
