A woman 'sold' in a black market adoption has been reunited with her long lost mother 34 years after she was snatched from her arms.
Sara Hudson and her birth mother, Kathleen Rhodes, were separated in a Long Island hospital parking lot by late Brooklyn lawyer and rabbi Seymour Fenichel - the ringleader of an illegal adoption scam - in 1976.
At a gas station nearby, the newborn was handed over to an older Manhattan woman desperate for a child.
...
A 144-count indictment by the state attorney general charged they 'sold babies to the highest bidder,' and 'forced mothers to falsify birth certificates and coerced those who wavered into giving up their babies, using emotional and financial intimidation,' according to the Post.
In a plea deal, Fenichel, Greenspan and the Lauers avoided jail.
