The Missing Babies

Before the mid-1980s, parents bereaved by stillbirth were told little about what would happen to their stillborn babies.

Decades on and families are searching for where their babies were buried.

Before the mid-1980s, parents bereaved by stillbirth were given little to no information about what would happen to their stillborn babies.

Many stillborn babies were buried in shared or mass graves without grieving parents ever knowing where they were.

Decades later and that silent grief has finally been given a voice as bereaved families learn how, through searching decades-old burial and grave records, many of those missing babies can be found. Many, but not all.
