    How bold do you have to be to put the kids photos in the paper, knowing that would be the quickest way for them to be identified by their parents… We know where she is now, but too bad she got to skip out on justice on earth first…

      My guess is that she did this with kids from families who were too poor to hire lawyers to get their kids back, and who also lacked the legal skills to fight her. So even if the families DID recognize their kids in the newspapers, there probably wasn't much, if anything, they could do to get their children back, because Georgia had too much support for her dirty deeds. And if the kids were old enough to be aware of what was happening to them, their protests went unheeded. And Georgia just kept getting richer and richer off of these poor kids. Just a terrible situation all around!

    Not done watching the video, but it got me to do a little searching.
    Harry U. Scruggs, attorney for the Children's Home, in his submission to the Memphis Board of Adjustment wrote: "There will be no playgrounds or anything that would create noises or disturbances."
    Maybe this is hindsight, but those words are foreboding and eerie.

    There have been so many instances of kids in children's homes being mistreated in the past, that it's unreal. In Canada in the 1940s, there was an orphanage where hundreds of healthy, normal kids were labeled as mentally handicapped, just so that the nuns caring for them could get more money from the government. These poor kids grew up believing that something was wrong with them, and often didn't find out until they were grown up that they were not mentally handicapped, after all. As for this story, I can't imagine how many families were destroyed because of Georgia Tann, with kids stolen from parents who actually WANTED them, and some of whom passed away before their parents ever found out what REALLY happened to their children. And some of the children who were considered "unadoptable" in some way, were left to die, if Georgia thought that she wouldn't make any money off of them. To Georgia, children were apparently just products, not human beings with thoughts and feelings. She may have seemed to escape judgement in this life -- but God will certainly not allow her to escape it in the next!

      @@JoMarieM that’s all I could think when I was making this video! GOD will take care of Georgia! Because she truly was a disgusting human being & it’s frustrating that she wasn’t held accountable, but it’s good to know that at least! I’m heart broke for all of these families! So pointless & sickening … so many lives ruined for a little bit of $$

    There are actually still adult adoptiins. I'm 40, and we're planning on my step-father to adopt me. He's been "dad" since i was 14, and my bio-father (or, as I like to call him, my "sperm donor"), has never been a dad to me.

    Sad, heard of this before. Sadly Senu open and open adoptions are not, to my knowledge, legally enforceable so potential adoptive parents can say it will stay open and often it’s close after the baby is signed off to the new parents. Where they grow up not knowing their medical history or biological lineage which is sad.
