This evaluation was announced on February 22, 1999, and the fieldwork took place during March 1999 through December 1999.

The little known industry of "Heir Finding" is opened, examined and explored. It is subjected to the general public's scrutiny for the first time. The book contains the author's most interesting, challenging and rewarding cases from over 22 years of operating a private investigative agency specializing in determining, locating and assisting the legal heirs to the Estates of deceased persons. It details the secrets of success and exposes the many abuses and the obstacles encountered when dealing with the bureaucratic custodial agencies holding the funds of the deceased that are legally owed to their heirs. This book also documents many of the administrative agencies security shortcomings, personnel issues and even their inability to fully comply with some of the laws governing their actions and responsibilities. These same agencies are "Custodians" of billions of dollars in an era of tax revenue shortfalls and are laboring under a true conflict of interest The state legislatures are now "raiding" trust funds such as those held in the names of deceased owners. The Unclaimed Property program has become a replica of the social security program. The result? They are now operating in the same fashion as a Ponzi scheme.

“Baby safe haven” laws, which allow a parent to relinquish a newborn baby legally and anonymously at a specified institutional location—such as a hospital or fire station—were established in every state between 1999 and 2009. Promoted during a time of heated public debate over policies on abortion, sex education, teen pregnancy, adoption, welfare, immigrant reproduction, and child abuse, safe haven laws were passed by the majority of states with little contest. These laws were thought to offer a solution to the consequences of unwanted pregnancies: mothers would no longer be burdened with children they could not care for, and newborn babies would no longer be abandoned in dumpsters. Yet while these laws are well meaning, they ignore the real problem: some women lack key social and economic supports that mothers need to raise children. Safe haven laws do little to help disadvantaged women. Instead, advocates of safe haven laws target teenagers, women of color, and poor women with safe haven information and see relinquishing custody of their newborns as an act of maternal love. Disadvantaged women are preemptively judged as “bad” mothers whose babies would be better off without them. Laury Oaks argues that the labeling of certain kinds of women as potential “bad” mothers who should consider anonymously giving up their newborns for adoption into a “loving” home should best be understood as an issue of reproductive justice. Safe haven discourses promote narrow images of who deserves to be a mother and reflect restrictive views on how we should treat women experiencing unwanted pregnancy.
