foster parenting in the 1900's?

My GrGrGrandmother would take in children who's parents could not care for them. Most parents would eventually come back for the children, one did not and this child would eventually take on the family name. Does anyone know if there are records kept on this kind of fostering? Perhaps records were kept on all the children she once cared for? I would like to add these children's names into our family history.
Thanks
