Special Alert from Boyd F. Campbell

    I have received a rash of telephone calls recently from all over the United States and from some foreign countries about the activities of unlicensed adoption "facilitators."  The calls concern primarily adoptions in Vietnam, Cambodia, China, Romania, and Russia.  Consular officers at foreign service consular posts are telling U.S. citizen parents that they cannot adopt infants because their cases were improperly prepared, there is insufficient proof of the identity of the birthparents and child, the unlicensed adoption facilitator has paid a bribe to a birthmother or to an orphanage, and a variety of other reasons for denying adoption petitions and not allowing adopted children out of the country to come to the United States.
    I have received literally dozens and dozens of calls from distraught, anguished and, yes, angry U.S. citizens who are, in many cases, stuck in foreign countries with no way to bring their adopted children home.
    Let me say again:  International adoption is complicated and there are many fine, experienced, licensed child-placing agencies in the United States upon whom you can rely with great confidence.  You can even call me for a recommendation.  But there are also a great many unlicensed adoption "facilitators" out there, both in the United States and in foreign countries, and they will hurt you and your adopted child and cause you untold suffering.  These unlicensed "facilitators" have sniffed out the gravy train and are charging fees of $20,000, $30,000 -- as much as $50,000 -- to help you adopt an infant overseas.
    Please, the guidance still holds.  It pays to put professionals on your team, whether it is a licensed child-placing agency, or a licensed attorney who has experience in handling international adoptions.
    Please don't be foolish.  I don't want to receive your call and sad tale about how an unlicensed adoption "facilitator" took your money and left you high and dry in Ho Chi Minh City.
