On the dutch version of Wiki I read that Madeleine was conceived through IVF. Not referenced to on the English version...
"Madeleines ouders Kate en Gerry (beiden geboren in 1968) konden lange tijd geen kinderen krijgen. Na vijf jaar ivf-behandelingen werd Kate zwanger. Madeleine werd geboren op 12 mei 2003 in Leicester."
Translation:
"Madeleine's parents Kate and Gerry were not able to conceive children. After five years of IVF treatment Kate became pregnant. Madeleine was born on May 12th, 2003, in Leicester."

Could it be the mother was used as a surrogacy?
And later they came to 'harvest' the child?
