In 1941, Greer Garson
earned an Academy Award nomination for her portrayal of Fort Worth’s Edna
Gladney in Blossoms in the Dust. All
eyes turned toward the small yet mighty Gladney and her fight for children’s
rights and adoption reform. Born in 1886, Edna Gladney was labeled as
“illegitimate” from birth and, as an adult, lobbied for that label’s removal
from all birth certificates. During World War I, when many women left
the home to work, Edna opened an innovative daytime nursery to care for the children
of these workingwomen. What became the Gladney
Center for Adoption has changed the lives of families and children the world
over. Author and Gladney parent
Sherrie McLeRoy tells Edna’s amazing story alongside the making of the movie
that launched Edna and adoption reform beyond Fort Worth’s borders to national
recognition.
