When I was 18, my 17 year old girlfriend got pregnant. She decided to have the baby and I supported her. We were then going to get married.
She came over to my house complaining of stomach pains and I rushed her to the hospital. She was having contractions and the baby was 10 weeks early. They tried to stop the contractions using drugs, but it didn't work. I had taken Lamaz classes and was going to be there when the baby was born. I got ready and then was told they had to preform an emergency operation. After the operation my girl friend was fine. The baby was in grave condition though. They said the next day or two would tell if it would make it. Two days later, the baby (a boy) took a turn for the worst. He wasn't going to make it. They let me see the baby and hold him. It was very hard to deal with. My girl friend didn't want to see the baby and was having an even harder time dealing with it. The baby died and my girl friends parents sent her to spend time with her sister. It was horrible for me. I needed her to talk to and greive with, but I didn't have a phone number or no where her sister lived. My girl friends parents wouldn't even talk to me any more. Then I got it, a phone call form my girl friend wanting to break up. No reason offered. I wanted to know details about my son, but nobody in her family would give them to me. After a few months I contacted my ex to see where my son was buried. She wouldn't tell me. Now later in life I thought it would be different with her. I really wanted to visit his grave. I found her phone number through a friend and asked, "Where is my son buried?" She hung up on me.
Is there any legal recourse here? Do I have a right to know where my son is buried? What shall I do? Any help or suggestion is welcome and appreciated.
