Before and After: The Incredible Real-Life Stories of Orphans Who Survived the Tennessee Children's Home Society by Judy Christie, Lisa Wingate

5.0

The book is a historical read about the scandal of the Tennessee Children's Home Society and Georgia Tann. This establishment practiced human trafficking through illegal adoptions. Babies were stolen from hospitals and families using many methods, adoption rings, falsified documents, and others. The "adoptees" in the book discuss their experiences with the adoption ring and Georgia Tann. Now in their 70's and 80's, they are hoping to find family that they had been taken from, some of their family members that they never even knew they existed. It was a very somber read, but a wonderful interpretation of the story that shook Memphis.
