   I work in healthcare, and I have to say that it wouldn't surprise me.  We see so much crazy stuff happen, lawsuits, fraud, all kinds of stuff.  The only thing that I think is not listed here as a possibility is that your parents could have put the baby up for adoption and spun the whole thing to you.  If they did do this, their sadness may have been quite real, and it might have been an option they were forced to take.  Since this is the case, if you do approach this, do so with a certain level of respect and caution, but as the sis, your curiousity would be justified.

   My parents took great pride in their responsibilities as parents.  I know beyond a shadow of a doubt they did not give up my sibling for adoption.  When she/he was born, they had their own house, were financially stable, and awaited the birth anxiously.  I can understand how you would come to that theory though, since adoption is common place now, and even more so 30 years ago.  My mother and I had a very open relationship and could tell each other anything.  I know that if by some miniscule chance that did happen, she would've revealed it to me on her death bed, and surely wouldn't have taken something of this magnitude to the grave.  Thank you for your input.  It is greatly appreciated, and still something to think about.
