PAKISTAN PROHIBITS ADOPTION OF EARTHQUAKE ORPHANS

The orphans will be sent to orphan villages instead:
Federal Minister for Social Welfare Zubaida Jalal told the National Assembly during question hour here yesterday,”We have decided to look after the thousands of orphans. We have imposed a complete ban on adoption of these children.”

She said: “The government has planned to establish children’s villages in Azad Kashmir and the North Western Frontier Province.”
The government was reacting to reports that at least one orphan had already been consigned to a fate far worse than death – growing up in Hollywood parented by a flake:
The move followed the National Assembly’s criticism of Angeline Jolie’s [sic] adoption of an orphan.
Apparently Jolie did not adopt a Pakistani earthquake orphan; just the rumour was enough to scare the government into action.
