Female child was born and was given up for adoption. She was never given a name and the adoption was closed
The family never was told what happened. She was born in Bloomington Hospital monroe co Indiana not long before Laura was born maybe a year or 2.
She would be have been a older sister to Laura. Which Harlen tried to make her also give up Brenda refused. Harlen told her she was on her own with raising the baby.
When Laura had her first child a male (Mike) Harlen took him away from Laura and made Brenda raise him for the first few weeks/months. Later in life Brenda would become Mike's mom not grandma.
Was told the first baby female that Brenda had was done against her will. She didn't want to give the baby away. This haunted her throughout her life. She personally told me the story.
