Taken at Birth

Awesome show, I love that they are delving into how this happened, and how technology is so awesome that we are able to find kin. The show shows the happy, sad, and frustrating side of dealing with both government and individuals. Can't wait until the next episodes are released.

All the meat I wanted to see while watching the show they left for like the very end credits. I think it was because they wanted this specific part to have you wondering who in the room could be related to hicks but it was a bad sell. I would have rather had those other moments in the episode showing each of the potentials stories. I also didnt appreciate how they were piecing information with dramatic pauses to give the hicks babies... i felt like it was toying with them for the sake of production. I do like the show though and I hope they are able to continue.

The show misleads us into thinking dr hicks was doing terrible things when In actuality he was doing a great thing. Convincing moms who wanted an abortion to carry the baby and give it up for adoption to a family who wanted to provide a good home.

I feel sorry for all the victims in this show. However, I was a bit disgusted when the woman said: "Many of us became family, we were sold. How many people can say that." I had to stop and think. Is this woman living in a different world? Hello!! There is a whole race of people that can say that. The African American race. The very idea that this is not even mentioned in this video shines a light on the understanding of the phrase: Black Lives Matter. Because she made it seem as if, oh my God, this has never happened before. However, as an African American woman, there is a real lack of empathy because at least she can start somewhere to trace her family. As can all those victims. WE as people of color can never do that. And the few of us that try, are unsuccessful. Our culture, our heritage, our history, is gone. And it was not for love or because another family wanted a child to raise. It was for profit to use us as property. How do I feel about this movie. Unmoved. Do a story on the how African Americans can't find their roots at all! Then I can be impressed. Stop leaving it up to black directors to do the dirty work of telling the truths about American's greatest stain.

I cannot beleive how covered up this whole history was. It honestly deserves to be further explored to see if there was a vaby selling ring all across the United States around the 1950's and 1960's from these so called clinics.
