From 1950 to 1954, about 400 to 500 children were adopted from this orphanage by domestic families. Table 3 shows for a few selected subcategories the proportions who were admitted to one of the orphanages. It is a particularly telling fact about these orphanages that children didn't necessarily have to be orphaned to be placed in them. Though we were outsiders, once at the orphanage we too became enmeshed in this nested power structure. In order to prevent infant mortality at the orphanage the employment of wet-nurses was seen as necessary. It may also reflect a self-soothing strategy or an attempt to self-stimulate in the barren orphanage rooms. The orphanage employed only one director and one nurse to look after newly found orphans and abandoned children. Wet-nurses working in private families were presumed to enjoy better conditions than those working at the orphanage. There was not a particular area of development in which orphanage children were specifically compromised; rather, delay was pervasive across all areas. There is thus no clear evidence that the orphanages had to apply stricter admission rules. Prior to admission, all children were given a cowpox vaccination to prevent smallpox and the orphanages employed a doctor who provided the necessary medical care. Findings have recently emerged from the study of children in orphanages which shed light on the impact of early deprivation in infants. Another solution was to work as a wet-nurse, in a private family or at the orphanage, as long as their child was an infant. At the orphanage the wet-nurse was provided with food, lodging and a small wage. These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
