Wow, that’s quite a moral dilemma. How sad for everyone involved.

Yes indeed. But if the baby was really stolen, then the people involved need to be punished. It’s a hideous crime to steal, especially babies.

Yes it is sad for every one especially the child, maybe they can compromise.

What the foster parents did was unforgivable but the child loves them now as his own and by punishing them it would cause him more grief and anguish, if all these people could have enough unselfish love for this child’s welfare then they could share him sensibly with both sets of parents and every one would benefit.

Yes Lynne, I am sure that if they (the real parents) become more forgiving, then the potential punishment of the foster parents can be reduced. After all, they did bring up the kid well. But still, some punishment should be given for the wrong they did, isn’t it?

It’s a difficult one, what kind of punishment could be an example to others not to steal babies?

Depends on the circumstances and the case.

Maybe if the foster parents are wealthy then financially they should generously compensate the poor family.

Although nothing could compensate for the years of loss and heartache they must have felt.
