Chosen Children 2012 Billion Dollar Babies in America’s Failed Foster Care, Adoption and Prison Systems by Lori Carangelo from the files of Americans For Open Records (AmFOR), member of Amnesty International • DESCRIPTION • REVIEWS • CONTENTS

"Chosen" and not "born". Because of how adopters present this, many adoptees picture themselves at a supermarket with their adopters browsing the aisles of babies as they pushed their cart along.

At a time when America's economy has been in crisis, "Chosen Children 2012" follows the dollars to identify the issues and special interests, as well as alternatives regarding America's failed Foster Care, Adoption and Prison systems. The book shows how the Foster Care and Adoption multi-billion dollar industries fuel the Prison industry and vice-versa.

"Chosen Children 2012" also identifies the victims commodified and trapped in all 3 systems, giving them a face and a voice for the first time, with in-depth reports to answer the "Why". "True crime" books sensationalize the crime (the "What"), while "Chosen Children 2012" provides the stories behind the stories (the "Why"). The author, who has been instrumental in over 20,000 adoptee-parent reunions, and interviewed hundreds of incarcerated adoptess, including serial killers, found an over-representation of adoptees among the general population of over 2-million who are incarcerated nationwide. The number of deaths, especially of adopted children, directly resulting from adoption, and their case histories, is the largest ever compiled in any book or on any website — They are supported by excerpted newsclips, records and othersources, as well as in-depth first-person narratives by the "billion dollar babies" in America's foster care, adoption and prison systems.
