It is 3am on a hot September morning in 1949. A dark sedan pulls to the rear of a home known as the unwed mothers birthing clinic in Jasper, Tennessee. The small, quiet package is slipped past the screen door and secreted away in the dead of night never to be seen again. It is a scenario replayed over and over in the 1940's by the infamous Tennessee Children's Home Society, and Ms. Georgia Tann, its unholy matron. Stolen after birth, my mother was told I was dead. I was sold for $5,000.00 to my adoptive parents in Southern California. This is my story.
