I read this book in one day, because I was so eager to find out what would happen to the author. This book opened my eyes to something that I never knew even happened, especially in the United States. In the 1960's, Dr. Hicks had a clinic where people could come to "buy" a baby and obtain a false birth certificate for that baby. Dr. Hicks was a shady character. He performed abortions, some wanted and some not. He sold babies that women gave birth to in his clinic. Some were offered to him by choice, and some he told the birth parents that the baby had died.

Fast forward several years, and Jane Blasio has discovered that she was a baby who was "purchased" by her adoptive parents at the Hicks clinic. She has no information other than the false birth certificate that was given to her adoptive parents, and the limited information that they were able to share with her. She begins a journey that will lead her to a better understanding of her past, and opens the door to the horrors and suffering that occurred in and because of the Hicks Clinic.

She is met with resistance from some, and makes life-long connections with others. Jane ends up helping many others, birth parents and adoptees, find closure to a painful past. But, will Jane find closure for herself? Is there a birth family out there waiting to meet her?

While this was a tale filled with sad story, it shows the persistence and strength of the human spirit, and how much of a difference one person can make. It is a pretty quick read, because you will want to see what happens and the topic is intriguing.

I received a copy of this book through the Blog About Blogger Network, in return for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Jane Blasio tells the harrowing tale of her own journey of being one of the stolen babies sold out of the Hick's clinic in North Georgia. A true tale of the travesty of human trafficking this book will awaken the reader to the horror of black market adoptions. Jane does a great job of sharing her story. At times the book is a bit graphic so the reader who has trauma in their background needs to beware. But Jane brings us back around to the hope that our true home is found in Christ.

This book had an interesting premise-- pursuing information about the Hicks clinic that stole and sold babies, including the author. The author tells a bit of her childhood in a way that provide good lead-ins to this sad story. The first half held my interest well. But the second half I did not find as interesting. I also did not personally like the author's response to the doctor responsible for the human trafficking at the end. I felt that the promise of the first half was not fulfilled, and did not address her childhood longings and their fulfillment. My daughter also read it, and thought the ending was fine.

I am truly looking forward to reading this. Thank you for the opportunity to purchase it.

very riveting book,explains alot about the type of things that went on then and still happens now.
