"Hello ma'am. I'd like to talk to you about adoption."
"....of course I will adopt you you poor baby sheepy dear. Come hug your new mom."
"n...no the dragon...ma'am im nearly in my 80s. I saw the end of WW2...."

edit: But hmm...who would be a good candidate for adoption / where would be a good place to look from the persective of a local?
