Reviews
“Visiting children’s homes in eastern Slovakia, I estimate that 85% of the children taken in are Roma. Here, “professional parents” mainly care for Roma children and make people believe that they will receive adequate care and love from them. In many cases, this is true, but there are also cases where parents take children in for money.”
