[quote=Anonymous]OP, I empathize with your situation, as I have a somewhat similar one.  My mom was in a home for unwed mothers in the early 1960's and birthed a child there.  She believes the baby died but is not certain.  It was, tragically, the second child she delivered at a home for unwed mothers, and she was strapped down and heavily sedated for both deliveries and was never able to hold either child.  She was treated like dirt for the first but even lower than dirt for the second, as she "should have known better".  Anyway, they always gave her the impression that the second baby died, but she has no proof of it and has no interest in finding out the truth.  She is very traumatized by the whole experience and usually shuts down if I bring it up.  I don't want to bring it up but I do want to know if I have another sister or brother in the world, and I want that person to know that they have a relative who is open to knowing them.

Your situation is quite different, though.  Are you alleging that the hospital kidnapped the child, had a local funeral home prepare a casket with fake remains, and then your parents went out of state and buried the casket?  In the recently publicized cases where children were stolen but mothers were told they died, the mothers never had remains to bury.  It seems really, really farfetched to imagine that a local funeral home would have colluded in this.  (I realize that they did not have a public funeral, but the hospital would have had to discharge the remains to a funeral home for a private burial.)[/quote]
