Got it in an email.

Bnei Brak, Israel - Dead Child Turns Up Alive and Well in Canada
>>After 50 Years
>>
>>
>>Bnei Brak, Israel - A boy from the Hasidic Satmar community in NY
>>was allegedly kidnapped from his parents more than 50 years ago and
>>adopted by a Christian Canadian couple.
>>
>>According to findings so far, some 50 years ago a Hasidic family
>>from Bnei Brak gave birth to twins. One of the twins died
>>immediately after birth and doctors later informed the couple that
>>the other child had also has passed away and had been buried.
>>Doctors told the family that the baby had become ill and his
>>condition deteriorated until he met his death. The stricken parents
>>had no choice but to accept the news, however reportedly they
>>always bore a persistent doubt as to the circumstances of their
>>child's death.
>>
>>About a month ago, in a Canadian city, thousands of kilometers from
>>Bnei Brak, an only child opened his mother's will after she passed
>>away. The words darted in font of his eyes
>>and almost made him faint.
>>"You are a Jewish child from the city of Bnei Brak in Israel," it
>>was written in the will. "We adopted you when you were just a few
>>days old and we raised you without revealing your true identity.
>>You are now entitled to know the great secret we kept from you."
>>
>>The surprised son, who was raised as a non-Jew, didn't waste time
>>and set out on a voyage to trace his biological parents.
>>The man in question, who works at one of the important intelligence
>>agencies in a Western country, was quick to find his Jewish family
>>at the Satmar community in New York, where they moved to from Bnei
>>Brak.
>>The mother passed away four years ago and the father is now
>>85-years-old. Besides the twins, the couple had an additional 11
>>children throughout the ensuing years.
>>
>>Two weeks ago, the man made contact with one of his biological
>>brothers in New York, he
>>recounted his story and asked to meet. At first, the shocked
>>brother found it hard to believe the story, but ultimately agreed
>>to meet his "brother." Upon their meeting it became quite clear
>>there were clear physical similarities between the two.
>>
>>For the past few days the man has been undergoing a series of
>>genetic tests to determine his true identity and his connection to
>>the family in question. Only after receipt of the final results
>>will the brother tell the elderly father that his lost son has been
>>found after an absence of 50 years.

From what I have been reading there is some question as to the validity of the story. I'd love to hear the final outcome.

As posted on another thread-

Are genetic tests 100% foolproof?

Any chance that this is a publicity stunt?
The guy will be able to go on a speaking tour, write a book, go on all the talk shows, etc.

Did they give the parents the "body" for tahara and burial? It's not so simple in Jewish law. That the parents accepted it as fact? They surely had contact with the baby, and then suddenly he -died?

Perhaps I am a skeptic but I also find this story a bit bizarre.

50 years ago is actually when the horrendous scandals of yaldei Teiman were perpetrated. (if it's known by a different name correct me).

The only thing that might not be true about this story is the specific person who is now saying he is one of them. There is no question that this very story happened many times over, maybe hundreds of times. So I don't find it hard to believe at all.

Nothing is ever 100% foolproof, but these test are pretty close. I've seen them professionally years ago in the context of proving paternity. Usually you see results where the likelihood that the man wasn't the father was, say, 1 in 15,000 or similarly extraordinary numbers. (Unless, of course, he wasn't the father, in which case the test is pretty clear about that as well!).

Anything is possible so I wouldn't say out of hand that it isn't true, but before taking it further I would like a bit more proof of the story...
