Children of Unmarried Parents Act
As descendants continue to contact us, we are intrigued by documents referencing the Children of Unmarried Parents Act (CUPA). If the CUPA was for “unmarried” mothers why then did the history form of this Mercer Baby state the mother was married? Is it possible the CUPA statistics could help reveal what happened to the children born prior to a mother’s imprisonment, or what happened to babies born at Mercer?
