Michael Carroll was an American photographer that impacted the world when he went to Romania to find out if the rumors were true about the Romanian orphan children. He made a movie called "Hand Held" and in the movie it was of him talking about what he witnessed at these orphanages. The rumors were true, infants and very young children were dying of mostly HIV and AIDS and other deadly diseases. While in Romania he wanted to make a difference on the children's lives so they can have a better future. He created a children relief fund to help the kids in need. You can get more information about that by clicking this link: http://inocenti.ro/. Comparing the orphanages from then and now much hasn't changed. There is less diseases than back then. One of the only big differences would have to be that more people are aware of the adoption process and would like to adopt the children. The still struggle with money and being able to prove for the children, but the Romanian Children Relief has helped making things like that easier. Michael Carroll was a big part of this because he help found it. Here are some of his picture that showed what it was like back then in the orphanages.
