media type="custom" key="9417968" Talking about kids in Romania that were abandoned.

Some other reasons for abandonment:


 * [|Poverty]: Parents may feel they can't provide for their children, so they leave them, thinking they can take care of themselves.
 * Mental Illness: A mentally ill parent may not understand that their child physically and emotionally suffers from abandonment.
 * Substance Abuse: Parents who abuse drugs and alcohol are often erratic. Erratic behavior combined with poor judgment may result in abandoning their children.
 * Fear: Unplanned pregnancies often bring fear for the mother-to-be's (especially in teenage mothers). So they abandon their child.
