Based on documentation stemming from the Foundling Hospital of La Laguna, this article analyses the social practice of child abandonment in Tenerife at the end of the eighteenth century. This analysis recounts the frequency, hours and seasonality of the entries registered at the foundling hospital, as well as the geography of each child abandoned and the intake system offered to foundling infants by the institution. Subsequent to this, we have analysed the consistencies versus the changes that the phenomenon underwent during the nineteenth century.
