Re: Parents Unknown
In Response To: Parents Unknown ()

You would think straight away he was an abandoned baby, but then that relies on a woman keeping her pregnancy and delivery a secret. How likely is that in a small, 'interested' community? I wonder if unidentified babies were ever discovered on church doorsteps there? Perhaps he was sent as a very young orphan and the details of his parentage just didn't keep up with him?
