The MC was a young boy, maybe 12? He used to live on a farm with his grandfather, but the grandfather died. The boy was left on his own, and he eventually was found by this red haired girl. She was a recruitment person for this orphanage, and she brought him to the orphanage. It was like a children's paradise. After a bit, it became clear that something was going on. Every once in a while, the kids would act strange and revert to a younger age. Children would get 'adopted', and pictures of them in their 'new homes' would be hung up on the wall, but something was wrong with the pictures.
He eventually discovered that the owner of the orphanage was selling the kids to old people. They would switch bodies, and the old person would be able to be young again. The main boy was switched with an old man, but he stayed conscious through the process. He eventually ganged up with other kids in order to escape. There was a protective barrier around the orphanage that the children couldn't pass through. There was also a pet pig for some reason, and they painted the pig and tried to send it through the barrier.
