Claimed by the state, he was forced to live in a rundown orphanage in a heartless city on a backwater world. Sonny was a lost child, one of so many in the multi-planar cosmos. Forced to work for his infested bed and meager supper, Sonny lived as a slave in poverty at the Red Street Orphanage in the otherworldly city of Bottleneck.He lived with no hope until that faithful day five years ago when the Orphan King arrived in his city and saw the conditions in which that the children were forced to live. The magician used his prestige and wealth to convince the local leaders to sell the Red Street Orphanage to the Transdimensional Adoption League, which allowed him to free the orphans from bondage. He used his personal wealth to help rebuild the orphanage and hired a new, benign staff to oversee the care of the children.Soon afterwards, Sonny and his fellows began attending the orphanage's new privately funded school with lessons in language, mathematics, and social studies. Sonny took to the skills of mathematics with ease and moved to the head of his class. His headmistress, a Mrs. Daisy Frumm, had this to say about the boy, “He is a delight to teach and we will all miss him terribly when he leaves for his new home.”That was three years ago.Sonny now lives in Boston, Massachusetts, with his new family, the Bakersfields. The middle-class family of four were delighted to bring Sonny into their happy home. June and WillBakersfield had always wanted a son but were unable to have more children after the difficult birth of their twin girls.Of course, it had not been easy to get the adoption approved. There was a considerable amount of resistance from the U.S. Federal government since Sonny wasn't a U.S. citizen not to mention a young boy from an otherworld. “We had nearly given up hope,” Will Bakersfield said after the U.S. Court of Appeals reversed a previous ruling. “This process has been draining on our family but finally Sonny is coming home.”It was this landmark case that allowed the Orphan King's Transdimensional Adoption League to gain official status as a NGO on Earth and the organization has been an advocate of the rights of children across the globe. Sonny Bakersfield now plays and goes to school with his new friends in Boston. “It's definitely strange living here,” Sonny said when asked how he was adjusting. “Boston's not like Bottleneck. It's a lot bigger and the culture is a lot different. However, my friends here are just like my old friends were in Red Street Orphanage. Well, except none of my new friends are dwarves or elves.” #####Contact for Additional InformationRobert Blezard, Media Advisor and Apprentice</blockquote>
