👉 Orphanism is a concept in psychology and sociology that refers to the phenomenon where individuals who are considered "orphans" or "unadopted children" become adopted by another family. Orphans are often referred to as "children of the state," which implies that they have been abandoned or neglected, and are therefore eligible for adoption. In some cases, orphaned children may be placed in foster care, but if their adoptive parents refuse to adopt them, they can be adopted by other families
