Hi, co45se2de-ga, 

 Are you specifically looking for "story-type" links like the example
you have provided, or are you also looking for links to children's
orphanages in general?

 For example, would the following link be of interest: http://www.cahome.org/

Hello again,

I have provided you.

Sincerely, John

One more question:
 Are you wanting the stories to include a description of the
orphanage, such as the following example:
"Kristina"
http://www.yunona.org/story.htm?id=300

 Or, can they also be stories of orphans who have been adopted from
particular orphanages, but not necessarily including the total
descripion, like this link from the same site:
"Ainura"
http://www.yunona.org/story.htm?id=222

After looking at the website link in your other question, it appears
that you don't necessarily highlight stories ONLY of orphans who have
been adopted, but of individual orphan's experiences. Please clarify
for me specifically what types of stories you will accept:
 * orphans who have not been adopted but provide a slice of life
 * adopted orphans who provide details of their orphanage
 * adopted orphans who provide scant details of their orphanage but
about their new family
 * orphans waiting for adoption 

 I want to make sure I don't provide you with links that do not interest you!

Sorry for confusion. I would like for individual orphan's experiences.
Please list just around 5-7 web pages about orphan adopted and the
rest of web sites should be about individual orphan's experience in
orphanages only, not adopted, for example:
http://www.myorphanage.org/article_orphan_5.html ,
http://www.myorphanage.org/article_orphan_1.html ,
http://www.myorphanage.org/article_orphan_2.html .

Sincerely, John

John,
 I ask for your patience in this search. I have been at it for awhile
already and realize this will take some time. Finding actual letters
written by orphans is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I am
hoping I can come up with fifty!
 Unfortunately, there is not an easy route to the search. It will take
a lot of digging! Bear with me, please.

I appreciate your offer of extra money. However, I am currently
perusing through individual orphanage websites trying to come up with
personal letters. I have been through several other search strategies.
While I can find accounts of adoptions, it is very hard to find
letters of the type you are hoping to discover. If I cannot find
anything I will open this up in hopes that someone can come up with
fifty links. So far I have found less than 10!!

Clarification of Question by co45se2de-ga on 18 Nov 2003 00:59 PST

I know it's hardly to find such of links so I finally decided to pay
an extra 100 $ for your efforts.

God bless you.
Sincerely, John

Hello John,

I've been doing some research on your question and want you to take a
look at these 2 sites and let me know if you would be interested in
something like these:

http://www.legends.ca/orphanages/orphans_speak/tim.html

http://www.legends.ca/orphanages/orphans_speak/monty.html

Regards,

Hello co45se2de-ga:

It was a pleasure to answer your question. Sorry for the late answer
but I was waiting for the other researchers to respond. They didn't so
I undertook this assignment. I read your question and clarification. I
came with the life stories of the orphans in their own words. I am
providing you the links to see if that is something you like. Just to
let you know that I am willing to work on whatever question you have,
just provide me with a clarification request and I will see what I can
do. Here are some links:
