- This article is about the institutions for orphans. For the band, see Orphanage (band).
Though various practices encouraged support of orphans -- Jewish law prescribed care for the widow and orphan, and Athenian law supported all orphans of those killed in military service until the age of eighteen -- the first orphanages, called orphanotrophia, were founded in the first centuries AD. The care of orphans was particularly commended to bishops, and during the Middle Ages, to monasteries. In many times and places, orphanages have been founded to provide an alternative to child abandonment.
Orphanages often attempt to find homes for children in their care; this often means finding adoptive parents for the orphans. They may be privately or publicly funded.
