Can You Decipher Any Emotional Disorders in these Children?


This image appears to be depicting a situation of the sheer desire for orphan children to 'belong' to a family. There is not even a smile or peak of happiness radiating from any of them. The eyes from each child in the 'cage' radiates the longing to be loved. Also notice that there is not one adult in the confined area with the children. Except for the company of each other, the children are all alone.
This photograph is important to my topic because it shows what adoptive parents are presented with when choosing a child to adopt. How do they pick just one? And, when looking at all the children, how difficult it must be for them to look deeply into each child and pick them apart. None of these children appear to have any psychological disorders or emotional problems due to being confined in an orphanage. But how can the 'average joe' tell? This is why it is important for adoption agencies to present all information about these children so that parents are able to adopt a child that they can give a good life to.
