Editor's Note: We heard from a lot of you who wrote in to thank Anderson and CNN for going back to Haiti. Many of you want to know why there are so many orphanages in Haiti - even before the earthquake.

Why should there be orphanages in poor countries when there are no orphanages in more prosperous countries? In the USA earlier last century orphanages existed, there were even orphanage trains bringing children west and along the way the kids were dropped off to be adopted. But since it was determined that kids do far better with families who care for them, the orphanages were closed, and the missionaries lost all their kids. if a child has no relatives, why shouldn’t ANY child be placed in a loving home?

I would like to thank you for a phenomenal work that you are doing in Haiti. Thanks a million. God bless.

Thx to Anderson Cooper, Sanjay Gupta and cnn for your continued coverage on Haiti. Please do not drop this extraordinary story. It's brought me back to CNN
