Inhoud:

Appalled by the numbers of destitute children on the streets of New York, Charles Loring Brace created the Children's Aid Society and organised a programme of adoption across the US. Between 1854 and 1929 some 250,000 children were found homes in the country. This is his story, and theirs.
