Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate

 Lisa Wingate's book, Before We Were Yours, weaves an incredible then-and-now story. It follows the story of the Foss children in the '30s and Avery Stafford in present day, and tells a horrifying and shameful story of real-life scandal.

The Tennessee Children's Home Society, under the direction of Georgia Tann, stole poor children from their families and newborn babies from single mothers and sold them to celebrities, politicians and others who could afford them. Although it was done under the guise of helping orphaned and abandoned children find good homes, it was really the cold blooded sale of stolen children. 

The characters are well drawn and the history is riveting.  A good read.
