At the recent National Prayer Breakfast, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton spent a significant portion of her keynote speech on how Mother Teresa garnered her support for the creation of a D.C. home for orphans in the mid-1990s.

But World magazine reports there’s more to the story: “the Mother Teresa Home for Infant Children in northwest Washington, D.C., is now defunct.”

In her Feb. 4 speech, Clinton recalled how the famous nun “told me that she knew that we had a shared conviction about adoption being vastly better as a choice for unplanned or unwanted babies. And she asked me – or more properly, she directed me – to work with her to create a home for such babies here in Washington.”

Chuck Johnson, chief operating officer of the National Council for Adoption, told World that Clinton’s “been consistent” about adoption.

“This has been a core issue – adoption -whether the home (Clinton) talked about survived or not,” he said.

Religion Dispatches has also delved into the history of Clinton, the orphanage and Mother Teresa.
