Taking into account the territoriality of the work trajectories and different stages of the life cycle of these people, I demonstrate how the possibility of becoming a mother can be extended beyond a woman’s fertile period, namely, when she receives children at home who may become her “foster children”. These processual aspects fit in wider debates on filiation, parenting and conjugality, bringing a new understanding about intergenerational reproduction and the continued identities that result from it. |
