Fraud on the Court

by Mike Chalek
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
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 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.
