CARANGELO v. CONNECTICUT: A Case of Lifelong Opposition to Government Protected Child Stealing

Carangelo v. Connecticut was neither won nor lost. After arguing the case for 4 years in U.S. District Court of Connecticut, when it finally reached the United States Supreme Court, a conservative Justice’s corporate law clerk decided not to allow the Supreme Court to hear the claim of government protected child stealing under color of state sealed adoption records law. This book explains how legal child stealing for the past 4 decades has escalated in America - an issue which the general public could not fathom until media documented migrant children in cages who began to disappear. Today, the federal Child Abuse and Prevention Act (CAPTA), and the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA), intended to help children and families, have more blatantly terrorized and torn apart families for forced adoptions while financially rewarding the kidnappers – government protected child stealing. This book is for adoption reform activists, attorneys, law students, writers, researchers and anyone who may be or become part of half the United States population who has an adoption or relinquishment for adoption in their immediate family.
