Summary of Barbara Bisantz Raymond's The Baby Thief

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Memphis orphanage I visited was very different from the one in Georgia’s story. It was long gone, replaced by a rectangular structure housing the offices of the Baptist Brotherhood.

#2 It was difficult for adoptive parents to admit involvement with a criminal, and few did. Many claimed they were unaware of the desperate, futile habeas corpus suits that were reported in the local press, and of Georgia’s Home’s expulsion from the Child Welfare League of America.

#3 Georgia had transformed potential adversaries into accomplices, including politicians, legislators, judges, attorneys, doctors, nurses, and social workers who scouted child victims and wrongly terminated birth parents’ rights.

#4 The story of Georgia’s Home and the stolen children was largely ignored by the press. The parents of the stolen children were lucky to have been delivered into wealth, and many were emotionally attached to their new parents. But few protested this treatment.
