The Closest Strangers : Children in State Care
Children in state care, traditionally welcomed in the Morvan region, hold an important place in local culture. Participants in the demographic life of the community, as a result of their numbers and their youth, they also contribute to the economic life, first, through the wages paid by the state to wet-nurses for their upbringing and, later, through the work they do when older. The fact that they are "children in care" and thereby rootless and homeless orphans, creates above all two possibilities as far as family relationships are concerned : either an assimilation with children being "almost" members of the host family, "like" a son or a sister, or the maintenance of an insuperable otherness with lonely children having no family connection and being excluded from social exchanges.
