Between 2005 and 2008, identifying documents on children born in hospitals were destroyed so the children could be placed as 'abandoned'.

Mothers were given food and money in exhange for leaving their newborns at specific hosptials. Documents were then forged to allow adoption to the west. Pregnant women were housed at the orphanages.
