Another example of Americans who adopt internationally to find out they were duped...This has happened before and sadly, it will happen again when children are $old to Americans... Trace
A court finds that the adoptees from Sierra Leone were in fact kidnapped.
Were
Samuel Mosley and Adama K. stolen from their birth families in Makeni, Sierra
Leone so that Americans could adopt them—and so that greedy middlemen
masquerading as child welfare workers could get paid? That question was at the
heart of the series published here last August, The Makeni
Children, which investigated the torturously complex stories of 29
adoptions in 1998 from Sierra Leone to the United States. Birth families from
Makeni had agitated for more than a dozen years, insisting that their children
had been wrongfully taken. But the child welfare organization that had taken
those children, HANCI (Help a Needy Child International), insisted that the
families were lying—that in the midst of the brutal civil war, they had
knowingly and willingly given their children away.
