Got one for you, Rick. Brantford singer/songwriter Don McGeoch has one on his 2nd CD ("Doon Yonder Den"). The song is called "All You Ever Wanted" and he wrote it about emmigration from the UK, a multitude of street waifs sent over to Canada for adoption. I believe the time frame is the turn of the century, or earlier.

If perchance you don't have access to this one, lemme know; I'll loan you mine.
