1. What a shame. We've heard of these "quickie" Guatemalan adoptions for years.

Had no idea they are taking children without the full consent of their parents, or legal guardians. It really figures.

Guatemala has had a lot of children without parents for decades due to the country's war on the poor, and indigenous citizens.

If only the mother can get enough publicity some more powerful humane organization might assist her, I hope. Otherwise, her child will never see her own mother again, and grow up in a suburb of Kansas City.
