Moscow: Move underway to get kids out of orphanages

Across the world, an intensive effort is underway to get children out of orphanages. That effort was prompted in part by these images that emerged after the 1989 Romanian revolution. Back then, many orphans in state-run institutions suffered from cold, malnutrition and disease. In the late 1990s there were 105,000 children in Romanian orphanages. Today, there are about 7,000.
