Romania's abandoned children are the legacy of the megalomaniac policies of the late Communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, who tried to boost the population to 30 million by banning abortion and contraception. He failed but left Romania with the highest number of maternal deaths per live births in Europe, as back-street abortions surged and thousands of unwanted children ended up in state institutions.
