Russell Berney: Orphanage Reform In Lithuania

At the time of writing, there are almost 100 residential care institutions housing almost 4,000 children in Lithuania, costing the state at least 33.5 million euros a year. The state pays around 1,800 euros a month to keep a child in an institution - meanwhile, a measly 300 euros a month is given for children being raised in a group home and only 150 euros for children placed in a family. Families that adopt children get no support at all.
