Approximately 11% of Canada's population is descended from British Home children. That's enormous!! I always mention this in my class, but there is an excellent article here along with links to finding more information http://theindepthgenealogist.com/british-home-children/.
If you do find you're related to a Home Child, drop me a line please? Almost every class I've ever taught had at least one person in it who discovered their relationship to a Home Child - usually a grandparent who had never mentioned it. Happy searching!
Cheers,
Pat
