She said she never received a birth certificate nor death certificate. I was puzzled because there got to be a record somewhere. It's like my mom never gave birth. I read your msg and sounded like you are in the same boat as me. I am trying to find a way to get some proof. My sisters and I have doubts. We wonder if our mom was told that the baby was a stillborn and yet she never saw the stillborn. I can't help but wonder if the baby was born alive?? Either way, we want some proof. Is there anybody out there who can help us?? Thanks.
