Yes, but an orphan is someone who's one or both of his/her parents passed away and the legal gaurdian is either a relative or someone well known to the family (An example is Alfred, Batman's butler).

So, AJ is technically an orphan, although they might not have passed away until Apple Bloom was born, her mother could've died during labor, while the dad is still unknown...
