A number of untrained women offered adoption and fostering services to unmarried mothers who would hand over their baby and a cash payment. The mothers hoped that this payment would find stable, happy homes for their babies. And in the case of weekly payments that they would at some time in the future be able to re-claim their child. It was, without doubt, one of the most sickening aspects of Victorian times, not only in Britain but also in its colonies as well.
