Sir,
A young 21 year old girl had a baby outof wedlock and she wanted to give him away to began a new life.
She left the baby with us and went away. We have not heard from her for over a year now. Baby is over one year old now. He is a part of our family. But we do not have any paper [birth certificate or any information]. please advise me, what I must do. We do not want to give him away. He is so attached with us, without him the family will be incompleet. I do not want to go for legal adoption also.
