My great grandparents adopted a child, possibly from an orphan train, sometime between 1896 and 1900 in Luzerne. The child was born in 1896, probably in New York. Does anyone know if there were such things as adoption papers in those days? If so, would they be available and where would I find them? His name was Joseph Amott, which was changed to Joseph Lyons after adoption. Thanks, Lois in Malibu
