From the wiki article. The first two sentences. "Satellite babies (also called Satellite Children) refer to immigrants’ children who are temporarily sent back to their home country by their parents to be reared by extended family." These kids are being raised by their extended family. " Typically, the satellite babies are born in the host country and sent back as infants, returning to their parents in time to start schooling or when their parents have established financial stability." Then they reunite. In other words, nothing like giving your children to an orphanage.
