Harvey Brownstone Interviews Jane Blasio, Author of “Taken at Birth: Stolen Babies, Hidden Lies, and My Journey to Finding Home”
Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Jane Blasio, Author of “Taken at Birth: Stolen Babies, Hidden Lies, and My Journey to Finding Home”
About Harvey's guest:
Today’s guest has written one of the most shocking books of deceit and trauma that I’ve ever read.
Knowing that she was adopted, she began searching at the age of 18, for her birth family. What should have been a simple process to access her adoption records, turned into a gut-wrenching 30-year investigation and ordeal, because she discovered that she had been sold as a newborn baby in McCaysville, Georgia, by the town’s local doctor, Thomas Hicks, who had built up a lucrative business of selling babies. Sometimes the mothers were in trouble and willingly gave their babies away. And sometimes, the doctor lied to the mothers, told them their babies had died, and then sold them to desperate couples who couldn’t have children of their own.
Over 200 babies were illegally sold or given away by Dr. Hicks in the 1950s and 60s. In 1997 our guest broke this story to the media, which launched a deluge of birth mothers and illegally adopted children searching for the truth.
In 2019, the TLC television channel produced a 3-part documentary series called “Taken at Birth” about this story. And last year, our guest released her book, entitled “Taken at Birth: Stolen Babies, Hidden Lies and my Journey to Finding Home”.
