Yes, it is sickening, but you have to remember what was going on in the world during that time period. Children weren't considered to be "people", they were akin to livestock. Many poor families sold or gave up their children to such programs out of simple financial necessity...it was viewed in the same light as selling the family cow or goat. It wasn't right by any stretch of the imagination, but I can understand the situations in which it occurred.
