Good work, as always. I appreciate how frequently you state that you don't/can't know something. Life is complex, even eye-witness accounts are famously unreliable, and cultural norms vary widely from the Rich World to literally everywhere else. To me, the relative poverty of the orphanage isn't evidence of much of anything. My mother grew up in poverty in CO, USA. They had no running water or electricity for most of her 1940s/50s childhood - and that's in a country where those things had long been normal. They weren't abused or neglected, they were *poor*.
That OUR hired a psychic should be the biggest red flag showing them to be a total clown show operation more likely to cause harm than good.
