The Baby Scandal That Shocked the World

The tale of newborn twins adopted by two families from different continents, which sounds like a sensational Hollywood script, is actually a real-life story. The infamous 'cash for babies' case involved British couple Judith and Alan Kilshaw and Californian pair Richard and Vickie Allen, even drawing the attention of then Prime Minister Tony Blair. This scandal is now being revisited in a Channel 5 documentary. The Baby Scandal That Rocked The World retells the story through the perspectives of the birth mother and the two adoptive mothers.
