Episode 102: Georgia Tann and the Tennessee Children's Home Society

 Georgia Tann was a deeply controversial figure in the early-to-mid 20th century, known primarily for her role as the director of the Tennessee Children's Home Society (TCHS). Operating in Memphis, Tennessee, from 1924 to 1950, Tann’s organization was involved in widespread illegal adoption practices. Under her leadership, Tann orchestrated a network of child trafficking that exploited vulnerable children and their families. Many children were forcibly removed from their biological parents or falsely declared to be orphans, then sold to wealthy families across the United States. Tann’s actions resulted in a significant number of stolen children and long-lasting trauma for countless families. Her unethical practices were exposed in the early 1950s, leading to widespread outrage and legal reforms in adoption practices.
