Devy Bunch, 72 was one of thousands of children stolen by Georgia Tann, the Executive Secretary of the Tennessee Children's Home Society in the 1930s.
Under heavy sedation, Bruch's mother - a teenager at the time- signed papers surrendering her unborn baby to Tann.
Her mother was later told she had given birth to a baby boy, who died.
Her sister had never known that their mother had been pregnant as a teenager and thought she was an only child.
"Still, the two sisters had no problems developing a relationship via e-mail along with occasional phone calls over the summer and fall months" and have had an in-person reunion.
Brunch rightly calls Georgia Tann EVIL!
