Chosen Children: Absolutely stunning a must read for every one...
Chosen Children
Billion Dollar Babies in America's Foster Care,Adoption& Prison Systems http://www.thechosenchildren.com/ebooks/chosen.pdf Chosen Children is in 3 parts - Part I: The Problems--identifies the issues and follows the dollars to identify special interests; Part II: The Alternatives--identifies programs that work; Part III: The Chosen Children--identifies the victims and includes true case histories and in-depth stories of hundreds of incarcerated adoptees to reveal what makes their crimes unique...(the "why"). "True crime" books sensationalize the crime (the "what"), while Chosen Children provides the stories behind the stories (the "why"). The author, who has visited prisons, found an overrepresentation of adoptees among the 2-million who are incarcerated nationwide. She has researched hundreds of these adoptees from interviews, records, and correspondence and reunited many of them with their families. The book gives them a face and a voice for the first time, to show how the Foster Care and Adoption industries fuels the Prison industry and vice-versa. The number of case histories in Chosen Children is the largest ever compiled in one book, and they are supported by excerpted newsclips, extensive data with sources and in-depth first-person narratives by incarcerated adoptees, including Michael Getty, Tom McGee, Greg Mox, Kevin Smith, Noah Stone, Harold Williams, Jeremy Strohmeyer, to name just a few. They are thieves, drug addicts, murderers, gang members, sex offenders--all linked by their adoption-related behaviors and broken birth bonds....the "billion dollar babies" in America's foster care, adoption and prison systems.
