I deleted most of this article after having read through some of it; when I got to the part where it said "Such children, when nursed by their mothers in the workhouse, generally live." well...
I looked through the rest of it and could find nothing that really pertained to anything of an encyclopedic nature (except from a very narrow historical standpoint, which might go into Victorian baby-farming I guess; the latest reference was from 1902 if I recall).
The content just didn't seem salvageable to me. Way too much would have to be NPOV-ed and modernized. It seemed to me better to start with a fresher perspective.
In Germany and Scandinavia there was an euphemism for this activity: "Engelmacherin" (German), "änglamakerska" (Swedish) and "englemagerske" (Danish), all literally meaning a female "angel maker". Sorry, but this is wrong, "Engelmacher(in)" is not an euphemistic synonym für "baby farming", but for "Unsafe abortion" (see also → de.wiki http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engelmacher). Please forgive my bad English - but someone should correct this error immediately. Servus from Austria, --Reimmichl-212 (talk) 17:00, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
