Summary
From the 1940s through the 1960s, young pregnant women entered the front door of a clinic in a small North Georgia town. Sometimes their babies exited out the back, sold to Northern couples who were desperate to hold a newborn in their arms. But these weren't adoptions - they were transactions. And one unethical doctor was exploiting other people's tragedies.
Jane Blasio was one of those babies. At six, she learned she was adopted. At 14, she first saw her birth certificate, which led her to begin piecing together details of her past. Jane undertook a decades-long personal investigation to not only discover her own origins but identify and reunite other victims of the Hicks Clinic human trafficking scheme. Along the way she became an expert in illicit adoptions, serving as an investigator and telling her story on every major news network.
Taken at Birth is the remarkable account of her tireless quest for truth, justice, and resolution. Perfect for book clubs, as well as those interested in inspirational stories of adoption, human trafficking, and true crime.

An Interesting Story
It’s shocking that a clinic like the one described in this story could have operated in plain sight. Good luck to the writer as she pieces together her future.

Taken at birth.
So good. And happy that Jane got all the answers she wanted. Just a shame her mum had died. But that Dr Hicks was just evil to core . And all for the sake of money.

Interesting in parts but did not capture the anticipated imagination however was worth listening to.
Audible is a wonder tool for anyone with Sight difficulties and problems so thank you all.
