In his startling new memoir, Mike Chalek reveals how the adoption
practices of the "Baby Scoop Era" led to his fraudulent placement
with an adoptive family that had purchased him for $200 from a
well-known baby broker. He delves into the details of his highly
charged quest to reunite with his family of origin, and we get a
first-hand glimpse into the difficulties faced by many adult
adoptees in the US today. Mike's quest did not end with reunion,
however. After obtaining a court order to unseal his closed
adoption record, he set legal precedent by suing to have his
fraudulent adoption overturned. As groundbreaking as his victory
was, adoptee rights have not experienced the hoped-for boost that
he thought might follow. In this book, Mike seeks to set the record
straight and tell the story of the one member of the adoption triad
whose voice has been broadly ignored to this point: that of the
adult adoptee.
