one thing that i wish the books had addressed is how haunting it must’ve been for samantha to visit coldrock house. i think the fandom really easily forgets that samantha is an orphan (and has been since she was around jenny’s age) because she has an otherwise functional and loving family in her life. but there’s no way that she never thought about the fact that she could’ve ended up in a place like coldrock house had she come from a different background… i cannot imagine how haunting that must’ve felt, especially at her age, and i think it makes it even clearer why she was so determined to get nellie and her sisters out of the orphanage

A lot of people have questioned how likely it would have been for a wealthy couple like Uncle Gard and Aunt Cornelia to adopt three orphan girls who weren't family members.

What's really fascinating is that in 1907, The Delineator, a popular fashion magazine in the 1900s, published an article on orphans in New York city, who grew up without the attention and love of family due to being raised in institutions, putting them on the path to become immoral adults.

The article had a response that the editors were not expecting - readers wanted to adopt the children! The attitudes towards orphans were different too - the women who wrote to the magazine were hoping to raise these children as their own children, not use them as labor in their homes. The idea of motherhood was also changing - women who had never given birth asked that they be equally respected as mothers as those who had. From then on, as part of the Child-Rescue Campaign, the magazine published brief biographies of orphaned children who could be adopted.

More than two thousand children were adopted through the Child-Rescue Campaign, which lasted from late 1907 to early 1911.

This campaign is a little more complex than I can explain here, so if you're interested, I encourage you to read the essay I sourced the information from. It's available to read for free on HathiTrust.

(Information adapted from Rescue a Child and Save the Nation The Social Construction of Adoption in the Delineator, 1907-1911 by Julie Berebitsky, printed in Adoption in America: Historical Perspectives edited by E. Wayne Carp)

I just realised how FUNNY it would be to be Cornelia Parkington's friend and not see her for like 3 years. You see her and are like "wow it's so nice to see you! I heard you got married to that nice man, Gardner was it?" And she's like "yeah! He's a a wonderful man."

"Do you have any children yet?"

"Yes :) five."

That'd be so hilariously confusing. What do you MEAN 5. You got married 2 years ago.

#over the course of samantha being 9 to 11 (and almost 12) they take over care of samantha #adopt her bestfriend and that friends 2 little sisters #AND have a baby boy #samantha parkington #American girl dolls #ag dolls #nellie o'malley

theyre both within the same friendgroup fighting for popularity with completely different approaches

they are passive aggressively and not so passive aggressively at each others throats all the time, but when a new student tried to snatch the crown, they are forced to band together.

because whats worse than your ‘worst enemy’ getting more popular than you? a random other person getting more popular. yup. makes sense for sure. no lesbian undertones AAT ALLLL…

and yes nellie was inspired by the american girl doll because i just think shes adorable

ask me abt them 😇

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month 2023! 🏳️‍🌈

This afternoon, @kozmicrain and I went to the Capitol building for a dolly Pride photoshoot featuring Evette, Josefina, Samantha, Nellie, Mini-Rain, and Makena! Sam, Nellie, and Mini-Rain are proudly carrying the lesbian flag, while Evie, Kay, and Josefina are supporting them. Even Jip got in on the fun with his rainbow bandanna! (And yes, I headcanon Sam and Nellie as girlfriends, at least later on in the series.)
