[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Orphanage

[Jason Cunningham]

I agree with Pawel. I'd prefer 'residential home' with residents=children

I think use of the word Orphanage has nearly disapeared in the UK because
the word means children have permanently lost their parents, but many of
children in 'children's homes' may only be there for a short period while
their parents sort out some problems. In the UK we use the term 'Childrens
Home', but I think using the 'residential home' 'residents=children' is a
better way forward.

Jason
