Although children of all ages were involved in the program, most were 8-12 age group. Very few babies were involved. At preselected stops along the way of the trains, children^ would be inspected and perhaps chosen to live with new families. Every effort was made to insure the child's well-being.
Later, other institutions followed the same general plan but altered the selection process to one of prearranging families in which children were placed. A Number, sewn or pinned onto the child's clothing would match a number card held by the new parents. Many brothers and sisters were separated in the process. ^

(Optional) There are no more "train orphans". The new orphans are "border orphans" coming into our southern borders from Mexico and South America.^ AND, "airplane orphans" coming from Afganistan to West Germany. West Germany accepts children without passports, so the Afganistans get their children on the &planes with the advice," Go to West Germany, get a job when you grown up, and send money to get us out of this Hell hole*.' w
