Even if 2 sibling orphans had come walking into the Foundling they wouldn't have been kept together for so long, but then again Rory was a very persuasive person.
-
Rory and violet have been orphans ever since their parents died.
-
Violet was assigned to a mother named Elena Martinez.
-
To sneak away Rory hides on top of the Carriage in the luggage area. She did that so she could find he way to Clifton, a town that depends on Mexicans.
-
She almost missed the train, but fortunately Bridget helped her get on the train.
-
All the Anglos wanted children and couldn't understand that all the children were already spoken for. Then they got mad when they figured out the children were going to Mexican parents.
-
In that town a healthy Mexican woman had a 48% chance of losing her firstborn and a 28.5% chance of losing 2 or more. A healthy Anglo woman had a 24% chance of losing her firstborn and a 10.5% chance of losing 2 or more.
-
Instead of the sheriff finding Violet they got Rory in her place.
-
One foster father took out a gun to try to protect his new child from the Sheriff who was trying to take the child away.
-
They went back to plead to the judges to help them get the children out of those Arizona homes.
-
The judges refused to get the children out of Arizona because they said that the nuns were looking for homes for the children anyway so why take them away from those family's. The Foundling people lost the court case.
-
The situation was getting out of hand so they all went to make a new life in Mexico for themselves.
-
An eyewitness said that they saw 2 Mexican parents come back to the town years later with red haired daughter and Violet (a red haired young girl) was the only orphan not accounted for after the takings.
