This is part two of our mini series: Black Market Babies (part one, here).
It’s a family story that lay hidden for decades. Then the tech was born, the DNA came to light, and after the shock, the investigation began.
An underworld tale of the international baby smuggling ring that bought and sold hundreds of newborns out of Montreal in the 1950s.
A family story told by the families. One reporter whose own mother was bought and sold. And another whose own DNA tied her to the one of the alleged masterminds behind the black market baby trade.
