[quote=Anonymous]OP says it's not Russia, but I'll tell you my Russian family member's story from the 90's:

She was young and married to an older man who physically and sexually abused her, and she had suspicions that he was sexually abusing children he knew. She got pregnant and didn't want to bring a child home with her to subject the child to the hell that was her life.

She saved as much money as she could during her pregnancy, then bribed the doctor at the birth to tell her husband that the baby had died. The doctor took the baby to an orphanage and the husband never had any idea.

Had that baby come back 20 years later, the husband would know that my family member was lying. He could cut her off from access to their money, physically harm her even more, or just make her life even worse.

There is no way that my family member ever wants to meet her child or acknowledge that the child exists. She is just so happy she got the child out of that environment, and the only way to make her happy would be for the child to have a successful life. [/quote]
