    Georgia Tann: The Woman Who Built a Child Trafficking Empire in Plain Sight

    This week’s episode? Oh, just a light little story about mass child trafficking in America 😃 Buckle up & definitely grab the kleenex. We’re diving into the case of Georgia Tann the woman who didn’t just run an adoption agency… she basically built a whole black market baby pipeline and got away with it for years. Like, years years. Corruption is an understatment. We break down how the Georgia Tann scheme worked, how it stayed hidden in plain sight, and how thousands of children were stolen, sold, and erased from their families’ lives. It’s dark. It’s infuriating. It’s one of those cases where you keep thinking, “there’s no way this gets worse”… and then it absolutely does. So yeah, expect a full deep dive, a lot of “are you kidding me??” moments, and our usual accidentally giggly coping mechanisms because otherwise we’d cry and you'd never be able to understand us.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Tannhttps://sos-tn-gov-files.tnsosfiles.com/forms/GEORGIA_TANN_TN_CHILDRENS_HOME_TCHS_INVESTIGATION_SCRAPBOOKS_1950.pdfhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camille_Kelleyhttps://iu.pressbooks.pub/perspectives4/chapter/the-black-market-behind-adoption-in-modern-america/https://www.tba.org/?pg=Articles&blAction=showEntry&blogEntry=64331https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW4fmdGNKvc
