Ireland Irish couples caught up in Mexican adoption scam

16 Jan 2012 | adoption child trafficking

‘The Journal.ie’ reports that a group of eleven Irish couples are being questioned by Mexican authorities in relation to an apparent child-trafficking ring. At same time four Mexican women are being held by police who believe they were trying to provide babies to Irish couples who thought they were legitimately adopting them. Investigators are now trying to figure out if both the Mexican mothers and Irish couples were tricked. Earlier this week, the Adoption Authority of Ireland advised prospective adoptive parents not to enter into any private arrangements with individuals or agencies in order to adopt in Mexico.
