What was the name and location of Erica Kirk's orphanage?

1. What the documents and fact‑checks actually say

Archived flier material and reporting about Erika Kirk’s nonprofit Everyday Heroes Like You describe a Romanian Angels project that involved “adopting” a child and sending gifts to what is named in those materials as Orphanage Antonio in Constanța, Romania ^{[1] [2]}. PolitiFact says the flier and archived website language explicitly reference Orphanage Antonio in Constanța and that United Hands Romania’s vice president confirmed collaboration with Kirk (then Frantzve) and that she personally sponsored gifts for children at “Antonio Placement Center” ^[1].

2. How major local U.S. fact‑checkers framed the trafficking claims

PolitiFact and WRAL reviewed the social posts and historical materials and concluded the viral claim that Kirk’s work was “linked to child trafficking” or that she’s “banned from Romania” is false or unsupported by their reporting; both outlets emphasize the specific naming of Orphanage Antonio in Constanța in the promotional materials while finding no evidence that Kirk’s charity was accused or proven to be part of trafficking schemes ^{[1] [2]}.

3. The source of the stronger, alarmist allegations

Some online outlets and fringe sites have amplified broader, older concerns about trafficking and organ‑harvesting in parts of Romania and applied or implied them to projects that worked with Romanian orphanages; MedicalKidnap, Distractify and others summarized those broader allegations and linked them rhetorically to Kirk’s Romanian ties, naming Constanța as the region in question ^{[3] [4]}. Those pieces repeat sensational claims and cite area‑level trafficking reports but do not provide direct evidence tying Erika Kirk’s named project or Orphanage Antonio to organized trafficking in the contemporary materials reviewed by mainstream fact‑checkers ^{[3] [4] [2]}.

4. What wording and naming inconsistencies matter

Reporting shows the project materials use slightly different labels—“Orphanage Antonio,” “Antonio Placement Center,” and the Romanian Angels campaign—so confusion is possible when social posts compress or generalize those terms ^{[1] [2]}. Fact‑checkers note the archived campaign materials and partnership mentions (including a claimed collaboration with U.S. service members and United Hands Romania) but also record that inquiries to the U.S. Marine Corps and Army produced no confirmation of official partnerships ^[1].

5. Limits of the available reporting and unanswered questions

Available sources do not mention any investigative or criminal findings that connect Erika Kirk personally to child trafficking; PolitiFact and WRAL explicitly state that claims of trafficking links are unproven or false in their reviews ^{[1] [2]}. However, the archives and flier content show her project was aimed at a Constanța placement center, and some websites and podcasts allege much broader abuse networks tied to Romanian orphanages—claims that the mainstream fact‑checks do not corroborate and that rely on older, region‑wide reporting rather than on direct evidence about the specific orphanage named in Kirk’s materials ^{[3] [5]}.

6. Competing narratives and likely motivations

Mainstream fact‑checking outlets (PolitiFact, WRAL) emphasize accuracy, archived documents, and direct confirmations, concluding no proven trafficking link to Kirk’s project ^{[1] [2]}. Conversely, more sensational sites and podcasts amplify historical trafficking concerns in Romania and suggest connections to named projects or people; those outlets may be motivated by a mix of investigative zeal and partisan or attention‑driven incentives, while fact‑checkers aim to quash misinformation that can spread rapidly after high‑profile events ^{[3] [5]}.

7. Bottom line for readers seeking the orphanage name and location

Contemporaneous, verifiable materials cited by fact‑checkers name the facility connected to Erika Kirk’s Romanian Angels project as Orphanage Antonio (also referenced as Antonio Placement Center) in Constanța, Romania ^{[1] [2]}. Claims that her charity was tied to trafficking are reported as unsupported by the fact‑checks consulted; broader regional trafficking reports exist but do not, in the sources provided, prove a direct link to Orphanage Antonio or to Kirk’s sponsorship work ^{[1] [2]}.

If you want, I can extract and quote the exact archived flier language and point to the PolitiFact and WRAL articles’ specific passages that document the Orphanage Antonio wording and their conclusions.
