The Women with Duplicate Files
Chapter 07 - The Women with Duplicate Files
The investigation identified thirty-four patients with duplicate prenatal records.
Some had received excellent care.
Others had been pressured into treatment or guardianship using notes they never saw.
One woman, Maya Wilson, lost control of a family settlement after Haven House described her refusal of unnecessary medication as impaired judgment.
Another, Rosa Martinez, discovered that her daughter’s birth certificate carried a second mother’s identification number.
The child remained safely with Rosa, but the duplicate file had generated years of billing.
Not every error meant a child had been taken.
Not every doctor knew the system was fraudulent.
The review separated negligence, financial incentives, and deliberate coercion.
Each patient received an independent advocate.
Records were corrected without erasing the woman’s lived history.
Care plans continued where patients wanted them.
Claire refused to become the public face of every affected mother.
“My pregnancy is evidence in one case. It is not permission to display every woman’s private records.”
The foundation created a protected review process.
No medical image could be used in fundraising without explicit, renewable consent.
