Montecito man arrested in Flordia on warrant for adoption scam

I think that guy was stupid for doing that scam and I'm glad he got arrested. All those people who lost millions... On a happier note, it's good that that one couple will be having a baby in May though.

Montecito man arrested in Flordia on warrant for adoption scam

A man in Florida was arrested for an adoption scam. He is wanted on 62 felony counts. His scam cost his victims millions of dollars. Two of them, a couple who were trying to get pregnant for years through fertilization, lost $75,000 to his scam. They are glad to see him arrested. The good news for this couple is that the wife is expecting in May.

Hoosiers find it harder to adopt from foreign countries

I think not allowing people to adopt internationally is sad. All these children are in orphanages or foster homes when people want to adopt them. When an adoption does go through many times the parents don't know the background of the child. Which is also sad because then they won't know if they'll need to get help for the child medically. I think it's good that people are wanting to adopt domestically, but if one wants to adopt internationally I think they should be able to with out complications.

Hoosiers find it harder to adopt from foreign countries

People trying to adopt internationally are finding it harder than ever. A set of complex factors have made countries such as Guatemala and China, once major sources of adoption from the U.S., hindered on sending out children "causing a four-year slowdown in international adoptions". Adoptions from Guatemala have been stopped since 2007 when their government passed "a law requiring them to comply with the Hague Convention. This requires member countries to regulate the international adoption process more closely". The wait in China can be more than three years. As a result many families find uncertainty about the background of the children they adopt. Now this has made less people want to adopt internationally. "The greater sadness is is thinking about the children who are stuck in orphanages of foster homes in their home countries , while couples in the U.S. are longing for a child".
