I think that's taking it a little far to the other side of the spectrum. 0%?? I really do not think so, and that attitude is why we have wonderful children languishing for their whole lives in the system.
Some normal children do become abandoned or orphaned after having led fairly normal lives. Families aren't as big as they used to be and there just simply may not be anywhere for the child to go.
