In the 1940s and 1960s, a clinic in a small North Georgia town became a hub for young pregnant women seeking an alternative to traditional adoption. These women, often desperate to give their babies a better life, entered the clinic, only to have their babies sold to northern couples who were willing to pay top dollar for a newborn. However, these transactions were not adoptions in the traditional sense. They were illegal human trafficking schemes orchestrated by an unethical doctor named Dr. Hicks.

One of the victims of this scheme was Jane Blasio, who was taken at birth and placed in an adoption. At the age of six, she learned the truth about her adoption, and at fourteen, she saw her birth certificate for the first time. This led her on a decades-long personal investigation to uncover the truth about her origins and reunite with other victims of the Hicks Clinic human trafficking scheme.

Jane became an expert in illicit adoptions, serving as an investigator and sharing her story on major news networks. Her tireless quest for truth, justice, and resolution culminated in the publication of her book, Taken at Birth. This remarkable account of her journey is perfect for book clubs, as well as those interested in inspirational stories of adoption, human trafficking, and true crime.

Through her work, Jane has helped bring attention to the issue of illegal adoptions and human trafficking, and has worked to provide support and resources to those affected by these crimes. Her story is a testament to the resilience and determination of human beings, and serves as a reminder that we must continue to fight for justice and equality for all.
