Not every kid gets the chance to have their parents nowadays. With the human population reaching its spike, problems have grown more than ever. You have people nowadays abandoning their babies in the middle of the street and then the social services take these poor souls and put them under special care until they can find a foster home. And there are a lot of good people out there, especially women who never hesitate to raise foster kids as their own. Even though they might not know the kid's parents they will still be willing to raise it right.

And that gesture is just something that shows the good side of humanity. Because in this case, you are helping someone and not expecting to get anything back.
