300,000 Spanish babies were stolen from their parents and sold for adoption over a period of five decades.
The children were trafficked by a secret network of priests and nuns.
Mothers say they were told their first-born children had died during or soon after they gave birth. In reality, the babies were sold to childless couples
Official documents were forged so the adoptive parents’ names were on the infants’ birth certificates.
In many cases it is believed they were unaware that the child they received had been stolen, as they were usually told the birth mother had given them up.
