That was my reaction, too, Ibolya.

I found this story to be utterly heart-breaking.

It is meant to be up-lifting, , by the tone of the report, but it 
reminds me of the 19th century Western practice (happened at many 
other times and places, too, including Roman times)  of taking poor 
mothers away from their babies to live with the upper classes in 
order to be a wet-nurse.
