Butterbox Babies by Bette L Cahill
Many of the babies born at the Ideal Maternity Home in East Chester, Nova Scotia, were not adopted. Instead they disappeared, becoming known as butterbox babies - named after the grocery delivery boxes that they were buried in. This book reveals the sometimes happy, often heartbreaking endings of survivors searching for their birth parents.
