[quote=Anonymous]I grew up across the street from a place that used to be an orphanage/childrens home. I know and have talked to others who lived there. Most of them seem to speak of it fondly. I think some of them came from rough family situations and so the children's home was better. One of them told me that the years she spent there were the best years of her childhood. It was a working farm and the kids worked on the farm and learned other skills (construction, lawn care, etc). They had their own elementary school but went to public high school. There was a bit of a stigma to being from the orphanage, but my dad used to cross the street and play with them all the time. One of them told me with tears in his eyes, "He used to play with us just like we were any other kids."[/quote]
