Down Syndrome.
Orphans.
To be in one of these categories is a tragedy. One that deserves compassion, tenderness, and society to reach out with eager provision and love.
To be in both of these categories, to be orphaned, to be abandoned by your parents - because of even suspected Down Syndrome, is a crime.
To be an orphanage, and deny the adoption of that orphan to a family because of that Down Syndrome - out of a desire to protect the nation's reputation, both with its own population and that of surrounding nations, is heinous.
To force this child to remain in the orphanage, un-adoptable, and to tie them to a chair.
No toys.
No play time.
No friends.
No parents.
No love.
No hope.
Please Lord come quickly.
