An Unwanted is a child who never gets adopted and has to leave the orphanage at
18 with no biological parent wanting them, and no desperate person unable to birth a child of their own wanting them either.
Unlike a homeless, an unwanted seeks
love and affection, rather than spare change, yet both live off the land (streets in a city centre) and are without a home.... or
love.
Jamie - 'Why is Jason Leaving the Orphanage?'
Mike - 'He's an unwanted, so now he's
18 he has to leave the orphanage on his own and live of the land.'
Jamie - 'Golly! I knew he wasn't loved by anyone but i never knew he was an unwanted!'
