spaceWhile for the most part characters made would have their own family threads, orphans are a rather unique case. They can and do get adopted by other families, and become a part of that family. As a result, many threads have been made and then discarded soon after the orphans have been adopted.
spaceThis thread is supposed to remove that problem. Orphans are to be posted here, checked over, and then accepted. When they are accepted, their name and a link to their profile are to be listed in this thread so that people can find them easily. Once an orphan has been adopted, however, they are moved to their new family profile and their profile in this thread is put under a spoiler and their names are taken off of the list. People with characters wishing to adopt may look at this list to figure out which characters are open for adoption and may PM the individual to discuss the possibility of adoption. Every character must have their own post.
spaceAll orphans that are magical must be placed within Wool's to live. This is because due to the Statute of Secrecy, the idea of foster care for magical orphans is infeasible due to the risk of the breach of the Statute of Secrecy. As Hogwarts generates a list of magical children upon birth for their records, no magical children are undocumented and therefore there would not be a case of a magical child slipping through the cracks. This is also the case when muggleborn orphans are created, as their names are already on the list and therefore they are already documented as magical. Nonmagical siblings of magical orphans are also placed at Wool's to try and keep them together as is the case in modern children's services.
spaceWhen an orphan character is updated, please post in the NCR thread along with a list of updates you have made. A profile checker will be around to look over the profile and accept any updates. If there are characters that have not been updated in the thread, they will have an asterisk (*) placed beside their name to denote they have not been updated. This thread will be checked once a term (start of the summer month) to see if the characters have been updated. If by the next update check the profile has not been updated, the profile in question will be spoilered and the roleplayer of the character must update them to be able to post them. The character's name will then be removed from the list until updates are made and the character is reaccepted.
spaceEventually, all orphan characters eventually age out of the system. When this happens, their name is taken off the list, the profile is spoilered in the thread, and the roleplayer must make a family thread for their orphan at that point. Their profiles are treated afterwards just like a regular family profile.
