Started in the late 1800s in response to a growing number of abandoned infants, the New York Foundling is getting ready to celebrate 140 years spent helping children find permanent homes.

"The organization has arranged more than 10,000 adoptions over the years, [Executive Director Bill] Baccaglini estimates, while undertaking new ventures ranging from a Bronx charter school aimed at foster children to a Head Start program in Puerto Rico."

About 65 people who were adopted through Foundling plan to attend a reunion that will mark the organization's 140th anniversary. Source: Hamilton (OH) Journal-News
