Histori
The Angel Guardian Home for Little Children was started in 1899 by the Sisters of Mercy, as a sister facility to another orphanage in New York, St. Mary's of the Angels Home, which opened five years earlier in Syosset, New York.
The Angel Guardian Home, on 12th Avenue and 64th Street in Brooklyn, serves as a continuation extension of the Convent of Mercy, later on 237 Willougby Avenue, and has been taking orphans since 1863. The first child intake of the Angel Guardian home is sixty young girls aged two to five years. In 1903, the House began to receive young boys as well, and in 1906, a children's room was built so Houses could begin to receive babies. In 1906 the Guardian Guardian House also began placement of care for their citizens. In 1946, formal adoption programs began. In 1975, the House opened the first group home abode for the teenage mother and their children.
In 2003, the administration of Angel Guardian Home and St. Mary's of the Angels Home joins to form a network of MercyFirst institutions.
After a decision by the Sisters of Mercy to sell Guardian Campus Angels, MercyFirst moves its office from Angel Guardian to Industry City in Sunset Park on September 1, 2017. Plans to sell the property remain in the hope that it can be used for profit. communities with possibilities developed to offer Senior Housing. Individuals previously treated or adopted through Angel Guardian can still request file and record searching by contacting MercyFirst.

Criticism
In 1977, New York City Financial Controller Harrison Goldin audited a private nursery in New York City based on a random sample of five people, where Angel Guardian Home was one, and issued a stinging report summarizing the findings , stating that institutions are basically children's warehouses, and make little if any effort to find a permanent home for them. The report, titled "Children Waiting: Failure to Reach the Permanent Home for Foster Children in New York City," details how none of the five fostering agencies, including Angel Guardian, provide services to biological parents to regain children after they have been placed in care, no children are adopted within a reasonable time after they are legally certified as adoption, and nobody makes a quick motion to have children who are certified as adoption even though they have obviously been abandoned by their parents, in some cases over the years.
In the 1990s, other critics found that Angel Guardian Home did not care about the individual needs of children in their custody. Dorothy E. Roberts, professor at Northwestern University School of Law, explains the case of Gladys S., who has brought her five children to foster care for poverty, met only opposition and hostility as she tried to fulfill her testing obligations. it is necessary for him to reclaim his children from foster care in Angel Guardian.
