Description For the readers of Orphan Train comes the true Story of a second wave of humanity that traveled to the Midwest by train.
Not well documented in American history, over 100,000 pregnant, unwed young women traveled mostly by train to Kansas City - known as the Adoption Hub of America - in the early- to mid-1900s.
They would live in one of several Maternity facilities before giving birth, signing their babies over for Adoption and returning home empty handed and heartbroke.
