Photo journal: Life as a Romanian orphan

"I’m now living in another house run by the charity, and I help pay the rent with my wages.

"I share a room with a girl called Maria, and we get on OK, although she's always on a diet which is annoying!

"I have a boyfriend too. His name is Adrian, and he was also in the institution. We share a lot of memories – both good and bad.

"In fact most of my friends are from the institution. I don’t know many other people in the town yet, although there is one girl I see sometimes."
