Hi I came across this story a short time ago and everytime I am back on the site I see if something has devloped more...but I see with the dates that nothing much has been posted. If there is anything new let us all know. I would have thought some news would have been reported by now. thanks

Wow! What a fabulous thread- I too am hooked! At first I thought it was straight forward adoption and that maybe the child had misinterpreted 'adoption from the hospital' for 'abduction from the hospital'- but now.........hmmm I'm not sure- please let us know soon! Best wishes with your search. Helen

I've been thinking about this for the last couple of months and wondered how things were going too. I am sure that even though we are not directly involved we all feel that we are all family. Best wishes Julie

yes I am in Canada and I was telling a friend about this thread and we talked about all the possiblities as well.....LOL I still think it is a normal adoption and the mother just told a little white lie (she thought at the time) to try and explain to a little 9 year old boy. But I guess time will tell...:) Also we know some one that was raised in a family with a lot of older chidren and it turned out that her sister was her mother and her grandparents raised her. She finally found out with some odd things said and done in the family.

I've just found and read this amazing thread and I could have jumped in a few times but couldn't of course until now. Just one thing the dates of the birth and adoption certificate date doesn't tie up. Usual adoption procedure is that the Birth mother has 6 weeks to sign and the adoptive parents had to have had the child for 13 consecutive weeks before and an adoption order can be granted in the court. It could take up to a month to to entered on the Adopted Children Register. Has Michael got his adoption records yet? ... My best wishes to him. Cheers Gerry ps The couple who adopted my brother were 52 and 40 years of age.

Hi Carol,

Good to see you back on here, right first things first have you heard anything back from SS about the acutal court records yet ?, I still have my doubts about the abduction story.
The fact that the grandfather reg the birth, the day after he was born seems strange unless Hilda was ill or to embarrassed to do this, was Mike actually taken on the day he was born.
I would have thought Hilda would have tried to involve as few people as poss if she had anything to hide, did the court records hold any info at all ?, I would not approach any one till you know the full facts about this story, at the very least you would be telling Hilda's son, that she had abducted Mike, or you may even find your telling him Hilda had another son before she married (his brother) this would be my gut instinct.
In the past you mentioned about Mike adoptive parents being in their mid 40's when they had Mike (this would seem quite a common age for couple to adopt, also they had no other children although they had been married for 20 years, where as Hilda went on to marry and have more children, so she was fairly young then, still have this nagging suspicion that she was his natural birth mother, then this would just be a straight forward adoption case.
Maybe they said this to protect him, but if their story is right there must be prove somewhere, you say the hospital have no records their appears to be nothing in the paper if there is nothing in either his adoption record or court records, then I think this may just be story to protect him.

Let us know how things go, Good Luck!

just come across this after being out of action for a week, hence no caps.
in 1961, it seemed some family doctors tried to get unwanted babies adopted by people with no children, maybe this went on in years before..
i moved district and when registering at new doctors ,as i had no children he asked me if i would like to adopt a baby, not yet born,from a good family, the daughters unwantrd pregnancy, i got up and left,
i thought this very bad.
wonder if mike had been promised to these parents.
