I thought this book would be about Georgia Tann, instead it was more about adoptions from her time versus today. There was info about her, but not what I expected.

I read Before We Were Yours and wanted to know more about Georgia Tann. The local library had the book. Fixing to start now.

While the subject matter was difficult, I found this book kept my interest. One one hand, I feel that an author's personal opinion should be avoided when writing non-fiction, on the other, I can understand how the author would be effected by the subject. However, I think I'd like to have seen that in two separate books: a memoir and a non-fiction relaying the travesty Georgia Tann inflicted upon the adoption industry and her victims. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
