Episode 10: Bye, Bye Baby: Georgia Tann's Black Market Adoptions

This episode discusses Georiga Tann, who profited from the black market adoptions of an estimated 5000 children from the early 1920s up until her death in 1950. Many of the children she adopted out were stolen from unwed or single mothers, or families with limited financial means.
