How Do I Begin Trying to Locate a Child That Might Have Been Purposely Switched Without My Knowledge/consent?
Question by Daydream Believer: How do I begin trying to locate a child that might have been purposely switched without my knowledge/consent?
( Sorry This Is So Long) I was raped and got pregnant at 16, my mother tried to force me to have an abortion and I refused. My son was born in Dyersburg Tennessee on February 15, 1979. I was put under 2 minutes before his birth and woke up in recovery alone, where I stayed alone for over 45 minutes. I saw my son for only a minute before he was rushed to another hospital in Memphis with serious birth defects, He died a week later. Now, 30 years later my sister, brother and Aunt say they believe my mother arranged for my healthy child to be switched with the ill one of an older married couple. There are so many unusual things surrounding his birth and death that this has but doubt that the child I gave birth to actually died. I’ve grieved every day for 30 Long years and no matter what, the baby I loved and watched die is mine, but I have 6 autopsy reports, no 2 are the same and it’s extremely rare for a healthy non-smoking, non-drinking, non- drug using 16 year old to give birth to a baby with Down’s Syndrome. If my biological child IS alive (and I’m not holding out hope) How could I begin to try and find him? If he is alive I did not give him up and at the 30 he’d have to know the parents who raised him are not his biological parents. I’ll welcome any help. Thanks.
My mother died in 1995, it was only recently I had reason to think she might have done this to me. My brother and sister believe her capable of it and my Aunt told me over the weekend that my mom thought of finding another way to get rid of the baby I refused to abort. I never had reason to doubt my child died all those years ago until now. The doubt is tearing me apart. BTW I did marry in 1980 and had two perfectly healthy children who are grown up now with children of their own. I feel lost, confused and betrayed, not to mention afriad if this is true.

The sweet baby boy I watched die was shown to me for only a literal minute before he rushed to Memphis and I was only allowed to see him 4 times for five minutes after he arried in Memphis. The doctor who delivered him is dead, the hospital where he was born won’t talk to me and the hospital where he died won’t let me have post autopsy photos, but sent the 6 different autopsy reports over the years, I never even held him.
I have the birth and death certificates of the child I loved and buried and the wrist bands put on him at both hospitals. I don’t have the resourses for a PI sadly. IF my mother did manage to switch babies I could have had a healthy girl. I wish my Aunt had never told me this.

wow. this is intense! I’m sorry i don’t have a decent answer for you! take those 6 autopsy reports to a private investigator and see what they think. hopefully that isn’t too expensive! I’m sure they can trace hospital records back to that date, locate any couple with ill babies, and contact them?

Visit Mylon’s website at www.mylon.org Born into the pioneering Southern gospel family, The Singing LeFevres, Mylon was the youngest son of Eva Mae and Urias LeFevre. When he was old enough, he began to sing and play guitar with the group. The LeFevres were performing at a gospel convention in Memphis. Onstage, singing “Without Him,” Mylon did not know that Elvis Presley was there. After the concert, Elvis asked to meet Mylon. Elvis later recorded the song, and within the next year, over a hundred artists would record his song. In 1970, Mylon signed with Atlantic Records, and formed the “Holy Smoke Doo Dah Band” with Auburn Burrell and JP Lauzon on guitar, drummer Marty Simon, Tom Robb on bass and keyboardist Lester Langdale. From 1970 through 1980, he recorded and performed with Eric Clapton, Elton John, Alvin Lee, Billy Joel, Duane Allman, Berry Oakley, Little Richard, the Who, George Harrison, and Mick Fleetwood, among others. In 1974, he appeared as a fill-in vocalist on several tracks for The Atlanta Rhythm Section’s album Third Annual Pipe Dream. Mylon started getting high to deal with the stress and to fit in. His drug use escalated to a near-fatal overdose of heroin in 1973. So Mylon committed himself to a drug treatment program that year. Seven months later, Mylon came out clean. In 1980, LeFevre attended a concert by the CCM group, 2nd Chapter of Acts. Their long hair, and music showed that they …
