“The Foundling” is the true story of how the fates intertwined between a newborn who was kidnapped from a Chicago hospital and a boy who was abandoned in a busy New Jersey shopping district in the mid-1960s. Readers may already be familiar with this compelling, remarkable, and almost impossible to believe true crime. CNN Special Report covered the case in a documentary entitled “The Lost Sons.” ABC’s 20/20 aired an exhaustive interview with the author, Paul Joseph Fronczak (aka Jack Thomas Rosenthal), done by veteran broadcast journalist Barbara Walters. I am bringing this case to my Read More

Is it a Crime?
“Sexual harassment on the job is not a problem for virtuous women.” --Phyllis Schlafly 1924-2016 A question has been percolating in the back of my mind for some time and now, given all that has been going on in the news, seems like the perfect time to address it. And that question is: are rape and sexual assault really considered crimes? Let’s look at some recent stories. It was heralded as a tremendous victory that actor and comedian Bill Cosby was sentenced to three to 10 years and was described by the presiding judge as a ‘violent sexual predator.’ But all I could think was, Read More

And not only a kind and caring daughter, but an ethical one as well. And yet, you chose to give away one of life’s greatest blessings, if not THE greatest blessing--a blessing that Read More

A Little Reminder
{Please click on ‘Read More’ to best view this post} Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it. --Edmund Burke—18th century Irish statesman First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, and I did not speak Read More
We Are Right!
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” --Martin Luther King Jr. For all of us who understand that every person has a right to know his true biological heritage, and that of course includes free and unfettered access to his original birth certificate, and to every person who fights to keep families together whenever possible instead of unnecessarily tearing them apart, I want to say this: We can't give up because WE ARE RIGHT AND WE KNOW IT! We are not the first people in history who had to fight tooth and nail for a just and righteous Read More
