2. OrphanageAn orphanage is defined as "An Institution that houses children whose parents are deceased or whose whereabouts are unknown. " The term is generally considered outmoded in the United States, although it is frequently used to describe institutions abroad, where it is a more accurate term, since the word orphan has a different definition in international adoption.
