A:
One of Mother Teresa's slogans had been, "Bring me that unwanted child." Despite her assertions, she did not operate an "open door" policy at her homes for the poor, including for poor children. A very poor and very ill child would not be offered help unless the parents signed (or thumb-printed) a form of renunciation signing over the rights of the child to her organisation. One instance of how these rules can adversely affect the reputation of the order or the rights of the mother, occurred more recently at the order's hostel for unwed mothers in Sri Lanka. Sister Mary Eliza was arrested for selling children allegedly taken from the mothers, but subsequently discharged by the court after the Sri Lankan Attorney General withdrew the charges.
