Christine Nayler spent only four hours with her newborn daughter at a hospital north of Newmarket, Ont., in 1982, before her baby was taken away from her.

Then a 15-year-old expectant mother living in Toronto, Nayler was sent to a relative’s home north of the city to give birth. She was expected to return home without the child.
