it just dawned on me...
could some of these "infant deaths" be secretly placed in adoption?
could there be an investigation where we could link some "infant deaths" to an orphan adopted into another family?
you never know with family secrets, family lies, family deception. when i think of Moses, anything is possible - his story sets the possibly it could happen ... and the story of Joseph, how his brothers banished him to a foreign land due to their animosity.
Just a thought...
