Summary/Abstract: The fate of abandoned children has remained mostly hidden behind the figures, reports and terse information, which the State sometimes chose to disclose. But this study seeks to reveal what is behind all this, bringing into question the details of infant abandonment during the 19th Century and even the possibility that a child had to build his own life or identity with a new family.
