If you like watching television shows that feature DNA and using it to learn about someone's biological past, The Learning Channel network has a new three episode show called Taken At Birth.
In the mid-1940s a doctor set up a clinic in McCaysville, Georgia, near the Tennessee border which included a variety of illegal activities which included selling babies on the black market. The doctor did not keep records linking the babies back to their biological mothers/parents. The only clue is that the falsified birth certificates say the babies were born in the Hicks Clinic in McCaysville, Georgia. It is estimated at least 200 babies had their identities stolen. Now DNA is being used to reunite some of these grown-up babies (and their families) with their biological past.
The show airs October 9 to October 11, 2019, on the TLC channel.
See you soon at Mt. Clemens Public Library!
