Are there age or other restrictions on the children in any of these laws? I didn't think so, until something at the bottom mentioned "disable babies or babies who are over three months old"... 68.75.60.209 19:59, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Anonymous birth in Germany
In the article it says "In some countries, such as Germany, it is not legal for mothers to give birth anonymously in a hospital..." This is wrong. Of course there is the possibility to give birth anonymously in Germany. --130.149.176.243 (talk) 10:34, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Foundling 'hospitals'
I'm not sure where it should go in the article, but the meaning of 'hospital' has changed over the centuries. The modern meaning is a place where people are treated for illness or injury - the older meaning is simply a place offering 'hospitality' - a (care) 'home' in fact. As it says on the London Foundling hospital "The word "hospital" was used in a more general sense than it is in the 21st century, simply indicating the institution's "hospitality" to those less fortunate" Pincrete (talk) 06:28, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
