Seconding the recommendation for  Patricia Roberts-Pichette's book.
Balsall History Group out on a great exhibition about the Middlemore children last year, and both  Patricia and another Canadian author travelled to give talks.

For further information about the work of Middlemore Homes it may be worth reading " Great Canadian Expectations The Middlemore Experience" by Patricia Roberts-Pichette. The publisher is Global Heritage Press, c/o GlobalGenealogy.com Inc., 238 Lyndhurst Street, Carleton Place, Ontario, Canada, K7C 1J2. ISBN: 978-1-77240-046-5 (paperback).

I tried to buy a copy of this book last year, but was unable to get hold of one. The copies that there are seem to be held in reference sections of libraries and are not loaned out. Booksellers in the UK were not able to obtain a copy. I was able to obtain a download of the book direct from the publisher last September. 

Birmingham Archives hold records for the Middlemore Homes. Details, of what they have, are in their on-line catalogue.

Thank you for letting me know about this, it's much appreciated.
