5,000 children?
As
the executive director of the Tennessee Children's Home Society, Tann
got rich by stealing babies from their parents and adopting them out to
unsuspecting families. More than 5,000 children were snatched by Tann, and at least 500 children are believed to have died while under her care. This was reported Dec 4, 2019.
Actress
Joan Crawford brought the dark-haired infants she'd adopted from
Tennessee Children's Home Society in Memphis… New York Governor Herbert Lehman
purchased at least two infants from Tann. Then Lehman changed the laws
in New York State to seal adoption records. The adoptive homes were not
vetted thoroughly. Jul 24, 2020

Tennessee Children’s Home Society in Memphis and the horrors Inside
It
is hard to believe that in Memphis, Tennessee, from 1924–1950, children
were being stolen from low-income families and adopted out to wealthy
ones for a price. But it did happen.
Robert Taylor, a lawyer who investigated the Tennessee Children’s Home
Society scandal for Gov. Gordon Browning, said in his 1992 “
60 Minutes” interview.”
For almost three decades, renowned baby-seller Georgia Tann ran a
children’s home in Memphis, Tennessee — selling her charges to wealthy
clients nationwide, Joan Crawford among them. Part social history, part
detective story, part expose, The Baby Thief is a riveting investigative
narrative that explores themes that continue to reverberate today.

ADOPTION TRUTH
As the single largest unregulated industry in the United States, adoption is viewed as a benevolent action that results in the formation of “forever families.”
The truth is that it is a very lucrative business with a known sales pitch. With profits last estimated at over $1.44 billion dollars a year, mothers who consider adoption for their babies need to be very aware that all of this promotion clouds the facts and only though independent research can they get an accurate account of what life might be like for both them and their child after signing the adoption paperwork.
Why tribes do not recommend the DNA swab
Rebecca Tallbear entitled: “DNA, Blood, and Racializing the Tribe”, bearing out what I only inferred:
Detailed discussion of the Bering Strait theory and other scientific theories about the population of the modern-day Americas is beyond the scope of this essay. However, it should be noted that Indian people have expressed suspicion that DNA analysis is a tool that scientists will use to support theories about the origins of tribal people that contradict tribal oral histories and origin stories. Perhaps more important,the alternative origin stories of scientists are seen as intending to weaken tribal land and other legal claims (and even diminish a history of colonialism?) that are supported in U.S. federal and tribal law. As genetic evidence has already been used to resolve land conflicts in Asian and Eastern European countries, this is not an unfounded fear.
