Are all couples who want children able to have children on their own? Unfortunately, no. What happens when the people who have children, but for various reasons, don't want them? What happens when the lives of innocent children become the object of transactions and the adoption process becomes a deceitful way of making money? Richard Briggs, an honest lawyer (yes, some ethical lawyers still exist), thought his small adoption firm would make people happy and make enough money for a comfortable life in Columbia, SC. But his unscrupulous young partner, Max Hartmann, wants to bring children for adoption from Romania and forces the firm's move into an expensive location, hiding the extravagant expenses from Richard. Richard's refusal to take a re-adoption case of a wealthy woman generates a series of treacherous situations created by Max, who jumps into the opportunity to make big money. Unluckily, the case proves to be complicated and dangerous, and Max's string of mistakes jeopardizes not only the firm but the life of Richard Briggs, who barely survives an assassination attempt. After the separation from his dishonest partner, would Richard decide to step aside from the dangerous path on which Max dragged him, or will he confront a network of drug dealers run by the local FBI boss? Meanwhile, caught in an alluring web of corruption, deception, and a sexual encounter with a mysterious woman, Max Hartmann's adventures in Romania shift from children's adoption to perilous money-laundering for a local mogul with ties in South Carolina. Set up in the pre-Trump, pre-COVID-19 era, Adoption is a fast-paced novel thriller about the destinies of two men tangled in the hidden past of a Conservative old-boys town, lies, corruption, and emotional adoption cases.
