Chapter Five
Question One
The concept of Orphan Train is driven from the social issue of homelessness and the waythe migrant communities were not able to provide socially sustainable environment to their children. Charles Brace, one of the ministers in the existing government, perceived this problem and analyzed the sources of homeless children (Seita). The main issue that he could view was the management of the children who had no parents.
Thus, with the help of affluent people living in New York City, he tried to develop a holistic system, through which social aids were available to Children who were vagrant and beggars in the street of New York. They were sent to West through trains to find their respective homes through adoption (Inguanta andSciolla).
Question Two
On personal note, I can state that the Orphan Train movement serves as the foundation to the modern foster care system. Had I been at that time, I would have followed the system established by Charles Brace but I might have added some more things to the system. These would include developing government-funded system to make foster care homes within or outside New York City.
In case any children would find his or her lost parents, he or she would be able to contact them right away. This would make the family reunion possible. In addition, I would have made non-legalized methods of adoption possible for such children. This would lead to make their life hassle free and in a family of their choice.
