Selling babies

[Edward]

Esperanza Tema had almost given up hope: her only daughter, whom she had never seen, had gone missing from the Guatemalan clinic where she was born six months ago.

But Baby Esperanza turned up last weekend when police, investigating a gang that sells newborn infants to adoptive parents in France and Spain, raided four houses in Guatemala City and found a kidnapped baby in each. Prosecutors in Guatemala City are cracking down on the lucrative international baby trade, which accounts for 95 per cent of adoptions in this poor Central American country.

“The Adoption Center of Choice” of Orem Utah is the name of a company that owned/run by a James Webb of Temecula California, who is also an Allstate Insurance Agent. The Adoption Center of Choice was a for profit company until 2005, when it changed its predatory for profit status to the harmless non profit status. So suddenly in 2005 they were just nice people who wanted to help people Adopt babies.

Since its the same people, the same employee’s did they suddenly stop wanting to make money selling children? We don’t think so.

Some Confusing Facts … “A Heart of Gold Adoptions” also of Orem Utah which is now a legally expired company in fact it closed the same year the Adoption Center of Choice changed its status in the Utah Business Records 2005. It lists its Agent of Service as “All for Love Adoptions.” “All For Love Adoptions” opens right after “Adoption Center of Choice” starts being non profit in the fall of 2005.

All for Love has 1000 shares of common Stock, do you think the Stock was just switched over share for share from the common Stock of the old for Profit Adoption Center of Choice ? Inquiring Minds would like to know …

“All for Love Adoptions”
http://www.allforloveadoptions.com/files/FEE_agreement.pdf

The Parents Pay up front $500 to do an application then they must pay $8,300.00, then another $15,000 when they get the baby…
From All For Love’s Website “The base cost of adopting a baby through our agency is $23,800.00″ that means that it can cost more according to them. And $8,000 doesn’t guarantee a baby at all according to their agreement.

Remember “All for Love Adoptions” is the Registered Agent of “A Heart of Gold Adoptions” which share a 1-800-Number and Website with “The Adoption Center of Choice.” These can appear to be seperate companies on paper but are they? Its extremely unlikely that they are. In fact I suspect that there is more corruption than the sloppy paper trail indicates.

Why are the facts confusing? Because there are more entities to launder baby with!

Follow the Lenders, Advertiser’s and the Law Profession etc. etc. etc. The Genius Jenalee Ryan herself invented Advertising Fee’s as Money Laundering for Adoption.
$23,000 is I bet a small way of testing who can afford to pay much much more I’m afraid. According to people I’ve talked to in Texas bidding can go much much higher between $90,000 and a Quarter Million or more in rare cases … According to http://w3.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/039/RipOff0039846.htm which talks about “A Heart of Gold Adoptions” an Agency directly tied to “All for Love” and James Webb. There is Open Bidding offered to Adoptive Parents and in the RipoffReport the parents never got a child despite paying a huge fee …
So the only people who are benifiting are the baby brokers not the adoptive parents or biological / birth parents … Go figure ?   And what about the children ?  More on that later – (I’ve got some nasty stats that show that adopted children are not better off!)

Police uncovered the scheme after one of the women learned her baby was alive and had been sold to another woman for 15,000 pesos, said Luis Genaro, the capital's deputy attorney general.

The woman gave birth to a girl through cesarean section at the Central West Hospital in a working-class district in October 2008, Mr Genaro said at a news conference.

He said she told authorities she heard her baby cry but when she asked to see the child, doctors told her she had to wait until the effects of the anesthetics wore off. Later, doctors told her the baby had been taken to another hospital. A day later, the woman was told her baby died and had been cremated, he said.

The woman learned the truth from an-email sent to her by a man believed to be the son of the hospital director, Mr Genaro said.

The woman accused of buying the newborn has been arrested. Three doctors, a nurse and a receptionist from the hospital are also in custody.

Mr Genaro said police believe the group sold several newborn babies but have not yet determined how many. They face charges of trafficking in minors, organised crime and falsifying documents.

He said a married couple has also been arrested for allegedly paying the hospital to falsify a birth certificate for a baby that the pair had been given.

In a report this year, the US State Department described Mexico as "a large source, transit and destination country" for human trafficking. The majority of victims are undocumented migrants and women and children trafficked for sexual exploitation, according to the 2009 Trafficking in Persons report, which studied the problem worldwide.

The report said that although Mexico was stepping up efforts to crack down, convictions against human traffickers remain rare. The report said no trafficking offenders were convicted in Mexico in 2008.

Selling and buying babies for adoption is a crime. Babies are not only sold in India but also in other countries. In this video you can see a baby seller caught by police while selling a baby in China. Lots of people sell their babies for adoption as they need money. As this is not a legal adoption many problems like cheating are created in future. This should be considered as a major social problem and people should stop illegal adoption.

Europe

ATHENS, Greece, January 2, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Reports of a growing racket in the illegal sale of babies have begun to emerge from Athens, according to a Daily Mail investigation, with trafficked women from eastern Europe forced to produce infants on demand for sale to Western women.

Run by the Albanian and Russian mafias, one such ‘baby factory’ is reportedly operating in Athens, according to the Mail. Young women, primarily Bulgarians and Romanian gypsies, are selected by racketeers on the basis of beauty and health for impregnation.

Once pregnant, the women are fed, housed and clothed for nine months to ensure a healthy pregnancy. The babies are born in a private location to avoid hospital questions, with a paid midwife on hand. The mothers will typically care for the baby for the next 40 days, when the child will be ready for delivery to the buyer. Such transactions can cost up to £20,000.

Greek officials said black-market baby-selling rings are increasing, with nine known instances of the sale of Bulgarian babies in the first half of 2006--police arrested 33 suspected racketeers, including 24 Bulgarians, seven Greeks (including doctors and lawyers) and two Albanians.

In an additional case, five Albanians were arrested near the Greek-Albanian border under suspicion of selling eight Romanian babies.

“This is an escalating problem, the scale of which is impossible to grasp,” Lieutenant Colonel Antonia Andreakou, director of the Greek police’s public security division handling cross-border crime, told the Mail.

“This is just a fraction of the number of cases. We need to prove that money has exchanged hands, as this is what makes the transaction illegal, but that is very difficult to do.”

Police said those responsible recruit poor women who are young, pretty and healthy with promises of false passports and papers to get them into Greece. After they arrive in the country, the girls are handed heavy bills they can’t afford to pay, and told the debt will be written off if they get pregnant and give up their baby.

“The girls have no option but to comply,” a police source told the Mail. “You would not want to upset these people.”

For the women who are convinced to participate, the deal can ultimately cost them their life.

“Once the woman has served her purpose, she is as good as dead,” a senior police source said. “The gang will force her into prostitution and drive her into the ground.”

In a related story, the Mail reported earlier this month on a British woman accused of stealing a baby from a teenage Romanian gypsy, who admitted that she traveled to Greece early in December to sell her six-month-old daughter for nearly £10,000.

Sophia Percula, who according to reports was just 15 years old and had been transported to Greece by her step-father, told police that she had arranged to meet Marie Golby, 41, in an Athens grocery store, but that Golby had stolen the child without paying the money.

While police have said they do not think the incident was gang-related, it is an indication of the growing frequency of baby-trafficking in the country.
