According to this article, these same mean nuns were trying to find homes in America for these babies.

In rural Western Ireland in the 1920s until the 90s, poverty was endemic. That means little money to feed these children and even less to give them a proper resting place.
Rather than focus on the good these nuns did, looking after the poorest of the poor, you accuse them of starving these children. Do you honestly think they were living in the lap of luxury while these babies died of malnutrition? Where is your proof of that?
FYI, I’m sure that there were mass gravesites in America’s heartland during the Depression that contained the remains of poor people too. The reality is that poverty decreases the health and well-being of its victims, which increases the risk of malnutrition, diseases, premature death, and no money for a headstone.

The cemetery for Letchworth (next to Harriman State Park in Rockland County NY) is stark; it was a mental institution, and the cemetery markers are mostly numbered plates (no names). NYC has an island with a potters field (still used today); there is nothing else there.
