Georgia Tann Interview | Guest T.J. Raphael "Liberty Lost" Podcast Host | 5
About this episode
Decades after Georgia Tann’s black market adoption ring was exposed, similar patterns of coercion and control are still unfolding across the U.S. At the Liberty Godparent Home in Lynchburg, Virginia, young pregnant women are isolated, shamed, and pressured into giving up their babies—often in exchange for promises like college scholarships. The home, founded by televangelist Jerry Falwell, reflects a troubling intersection of faith, politics, and profit. Journalist T.J. Raphael joins Lindsay to discuss the Godparent Home and her new podcast, Liberty Lost, which shares the stories of girls and young women who experienced it.
