Pure and lasting religion in the sight of God our Father means that we must care for orphans and widows in their troubles, and refuse to let the world corrupt us. James 1:27

"Although my father and my mother have forsaken me, yet the Lord will take me up [adopt me as His child]."

 

Psalm 27:10 AMP

 

The orphan on Earth includes physically orphaned and socially orphaned children; That is some kids have no family alive (physically orphaned), while other kids (socially orphaned) have family that for financial, governmental, social reasons, etc. have relinquished their rights to the child and given custody of the child to an appointed non-family arrangement (International orphanage, United States Foster Care, Domestic adoption, etc.).
