Irish police remove blonde child from Roma family

104. There are more than two

from whatever source I read very early this morning. Apparently Europe is discovering more and more families recording children being born into the family at anatomically impossible intervals.

While I think it more likely that an informal adoption occurred, quite likely from a northern or eastern European sex worker or non sex worker who couldn't afford a child or who couldn't tolerate the shame of having one with no husband around, they're unlikely to find many records and will always come down on the side of child abduction.

They're also unlikely to find parents who don't want to be found.

I've known a few Roma people as neighbors. The culture is largely closed and that alone raises suspicion. They also have very different ethics. While they might adopt children informally from parents who were unable to care for them for any reason to goose up their dole payments, they do care for these children.
