Are You An ‘Elder Orphan’?

BY DANIEL GAITAN | [email protected]. Thousands of baby boomers aging alone are looking for families to “adopt” them.

“Elder orphans,” or unbefriended adults, are seniors without children, partners or close relatives.

Now there’s a new Facebook group with more than 5,000 members to help them find support as they age.

Although many members value their independence, most will eventually need care or assistance with basic needs — help that most seniors depend upon family members to provide.

As the massive baby boomer population ages, similar support groups for seniors will likely become more common.

The Elder Orphans group is restricted to individuals 55 and older who live without a spouse or children. »

MANILA, Philippines – Amid criticism of his drug war from human rights groups, President Rodrigo Duterte said he might just order police to shoot them so they would know what real human rights violations are like.
