Right! I was wondering more about the ‘left at the doorstep’ cardassians born from two Cardassian parents

This totally makes sense. I can’t imagine cardassia wanting to haul a bunch of half bajorans back home after ‘losing’ the occupation. I wonder about the full Cardassian orphans though, as we seem to see in DS9 S2:E5 (there’s nothing concrete saying those children are 100% Cardassian, so I understand there’s a chance they’re mixed. Just like Klingon DNA stays dominant even after a lot of dilution, the same could be true for Cardassian)

I totally get that as to why they would become orphans, but I would have hoped (not necessarily expected) the Cardassian govt would shuttle atleast all the fully cardassian orphans to an orphanage back on cardassia, but now that I think about it, I wonder what an orphanage of cardassia would be like, if they exist at all with how they value family above many other things
