I have had many kids live alone in the house after the parents died and the other kids were in collage. I have had an adopted child knock on the door and then the next day the parents
died.
I kept them until they went to collage. They age fast and I made sure there was lots of bread, milk and yogart and veggies
and they
lived fine.I gave them fruit and candy and vitamins as well and their hunger level never went below half.
