[AZORES-Genealogy] Trying to understand an Exposto record (1862, Fenais da Vera Cruz)

I was hoping those who known Portuguese better than I do (which is pretty much everyone...LOL) can help me understand this record. It involves an exposto named Luciano. Is it saying that he was adopted by Maria de Jesus, wife of Joao Pacheco Grande? http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/bibliotec

Mel, The main body *might* say that he was given to Maria de Jesus, wife of Joao Pacheco Grande, to nurse. There's some words before that I'm unfamiliar with, so a native speaker will have to help out here. The side margin says the mom came and claimed him. He was the natural son of Maria Pacheco.
