    More ideas along Nugget's theme:

    • Mother had run away to a different town to get away from baby's controlling, abusive father
    • Father did not know about baby, mother did not want to be coerced into staying under his "headship"
    • Story about foundling baby hits the news and the grapevine, mother feels remorse and comes forward--but now faces charges
    • Middle aged lady turns out to be a lawyer and agrees to work for mother pro bono
    • Father sees story on evening news, puts two and two together, goes looking for mother and baby...

    It might turn out to be a psychological thriller or a crime and punishment story--you decide!

    GL Tirebiter - thanks but I dont have many words really ...so I need to focus on the woman that finds it... and what she does/how it affects her/the outcomes...without too much back story....just a different unique take ...lol but without the reptilian alien bit...

    Hi Loz! Wow you have no idea how much this story impacts me. With out giving away too much personal info. I am not able to have bio children and my dream for many many many years (or nightmare) is that I some how find a baby. It changes over the years one time a trash bag a dumspster by the river in a park you get the idea. I allways KNOW that the baby was thrown a way / discarded. I allways take the baby and try to hide it as mine, but I know that I should turn it in...sometimes the baby needs a Dr and I am so torn because I know that they will take it and give to SS. And I will go to jail. Or if the baby is healthy I know that I should have called the police and given them the baby. I spend most of the dream running and hiding. This dream has been a constant for about 15 years. It is very emotional to have it, and it takes me a while to shake it after I wake up.

    Crazy Good Luck!
