No Santa Claus?

Each of these kids is no worse off than if she were adopted into a stable, loving family of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Your point is taken. But it works well to think of the Santa Claus reference metaphorically. Loving Parents, for example. What's that? What are they?

As to the substance of your comment, you are of course right on. And orphanage kids are far better off, according to pols like Larry Craig, and to the Right blogosphere these days, than if they were adopted by (perish the thought) a homosexual couple.

All possible charges of sentimental gushdom notwithstanding, the "Hard Kock Life," for Harrogate anyway, is rendered that much sadder to the mind, given the experience parenthood.

Alack. Harrogate now feels he must repeat those true words herein:

Santa Claus we ne-ver see
Santa Claus? What's that? Who's he?
Noone cares for you, a smidge
When you're in an orphanage
