Fraud on the Court by Mike Chalek
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.
Day, Win: - Win Day is a storytelling geek who loves to read and write about strong men and savvy women. On a Whim, a stand-alone warm contemporary romance in a collection of twelve books by eleven authors, is her first published novel. Born and raised in New Jersey, Win moved to Canada after working as an engineer in an overseas oil refinery, where she met her husband, Tom. The two have been married for thirty-six years, and have two sons who are all grown up and living on their own. Win and Tom currently live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. A member of her local chapter of Romance Writers of America, Win divides her time between building custom WordPress websites for authors, and writing both fiction and nonfiction. She learned long ago that she needs both the technical and the creative to keep her brain busy and her heart happy! When she isn't writing or working on a website, Win enjoys traveling to warm places (she's solar powered!), cooking (and eating!), and curling up on the couch with a good book. And listening to all sorts of music. Win believes that everyone deserves their Happy Ever After. And if you're not living yours right now, duck into a book. Someone else's story can give you the hope you need, and show you what's possible.
