Adoption Scams

The truth is that most adoptions go well. The adoption professionals, birth parents, and adopting parents all act with the utmost integrity.

What if an adoption professional or potential birth mother is trying to take advantage of you, however?

“Many adoptive parents who experienced fraud recognized the seriousness of the warning signs only in hindsight. These families later acknowledge that they just didn’t pay attention to the red flags or hoped that, by ignoring them, things would somehow work out. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to get out of a bad situation or take steps to learn more if you cannot identify the red flags early on.”

Chuck Johnson, President, National Council for Adoption

Regardless of whether you are pursuing an agency or private adoption, you must be able to distinguish between those adoption professionals and potential birth parents who are trustworthy and those who are simply trying to take advantage of your “I’ll do whatever it takes” desire to adopt.
