Hi, I grew up as an orphan before I was adopted.
I'm so sorry to hear that. Orphans are relatively rare in the U.S. and other developed countries; most kids here can expect their parents to live until they are grown up. I'm sorry to hear this. 
No worries, I enjoy my life now. Is it legal to adopt orphans in the U.S?
I'm not sure. I know if no other relatives step in to raise the child, then they become what we call a ward of the state. But surely there is a process for adoption. I just don't know what it is. Have you ever heard of The Orphan Train? 
The Orphan Train? What is that?
It was a program that transported orphans from crowded cities in the East of the US to new homes in rural towns. 
That sounds like a good program. What else do you know about it?
The trains operated between 1854 and 1929, so it's long gone now. It relocated about 200,000 kids that needed new homes. 
Thats incredible! Lots of children will have benefited from this.
help these children. The institutions were supported by wealthy donors and operated by professional staff. The three institutions developed a program that placed homeless, orphaned, and abandoned city children, who numbered an estimated 30,000 in New York City alone in the 1850's, in foster homes throughout the country. The children were transported to their new homes on trains that were labeled "orphan trains" or "baby trains". This relocation of children ended in the 1920's with the beginning of organized foster care in America.

When people hear the new stuff though I promise you they will lose their mind... We're demoing new songs right now, as we speak, and I'm telling you, people are seriously gonna lose their mind."
