The Vanished Babies

For decades, thousands of babies in maternity hospitals were falsely declared dead. In the small country of Georgia, doctors told mothers that their newborns had died shortly after birth. But those babies were stolen, sold, and sent to new families — sometimes within Georgia, and sometimes to the United States, Canada, and across Europe. Now, mothers are discovering that the children they mourned for decades are alive. Join me as I investigate the network that operated in Georgia from the 1950s through the early 2000s, uncovering one of the country's darkest hidden stories.
