The stigma that existed in my parents generation has eased many people don't even marry anymore but choose to live together I have several cousins that have no interest in marriage but than again they also don't have immediate plans on having children and a good percentage don't marry through the church either. There has been a huge shift at least regarding my family. I find that it is much more of a permissable environment there in some cases. Having an illegitimate child doesn't have the same stigma it used to for most people. It probably won't be hard to track the child down if he is from a small village if you can find a contact person that lives there. Antonio
