In 1955, Following The Devastation Of The Korean War, Bertha And Harry Holt Made Headlines For Adopting Eight Korean Children. Driven By Evangelical Convictions And Emboldened By A Special Act Of Congress, The Couple Founded The Holt Adoption Program, Which Would Facilitate The Migration Of Tens Of Thousands Of Korean Children To The United States Over The Following Decades.The Sueppels Were Among The Families Profoundly Shaped By The Legacy Of The Holt Adoption Program. To Their Suburban Iowa City Community, Steven And Sheryl Sueppel Were Kind And Charitable, Humble Yet MagneticSeemingly Ideal Candidates To Adopt. But In 2008, When Steven Found Himself Facing Federal Embezzlement And Money Laundering Charges, He Murdered Sheryl And Their Adopted Children Before Ending His Own Life.Paige Towers Traces The Interwoven Histories Of The Holts And The Sueppels, Exploring The Deeper, Often Hidden Complexities Of Intercountry Adoption: The Ethical Gray Zones, The Influences Of Religion And Race, And The Global Inequalities That Made Such LargeScale Child Migration Possible. Meticulously Researched And Sensitive With Its Storytelling, What They Stole Examines How Good Intentions Can Coexist With Systemic HarmAnd How The Consequences Of Systems Like The Holts Can Reverberate Across Generations.
