Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

This cache is dedicated to some cachers who have provided hours of entertainment for myself and others.  

To solve this puzzle you first have to know a little something about one of them, who I'll refer to here as Telemachus.  One day Telemachus, after watching Madonna, and Angelina Jolie brag about adopting their children on Oprah, decided he too should swell his numbers by adoption.  His plan was to adopt  hundreds of children and have them help find all of the little nano caches hidden throughout the land. So to fulfill his dreams, he had to visit orphanage after orphanage, convincing all the orphanage administrators that he was a good guy.  Well Telemachus, being the man he was, had no problems swaying everyone to his cause.  So now his posse of cachers travel throughout the land, hiding and finding nano caches, much to some people's delight, and others sorrow.

To solve this puzzle you may need to visit all of the orphanages Telemachus visited.  Here are the coordinates to help in your search:
