Hope everyone had a great 4th of July yesterday (for those that celebrate American Independence Day).
Many couples cannot have children and the costs of in-vitro or other types of assisted fertilization techniques are beyond the reach of many of these couples (usually medical insurance does not cover these matters). Further, some of these couples are not even able to handle the drugs and other medical procedures needed for artificial insemination.
This means that an infertile couple (or for that matter a single man or woman who wishes to have a child) turns to adoption. However, the wait for adoption for babies is very long in many places in the U.S. which means that for these couples, sometimes international adoption is the answer.
International adoption is in itself a patchwork of laws which involve both Federal immigration laws (Immigration law is Federal law, as the United States Supreme Court has stated time and again) but family law is controlled by the states. This means that anyone wishing to engage in international adoptions are not only facing the wonderful Federal bureaucracy of Washington D.C. but also the family laws of their home state.
The complexity of these laws and the process of dealing with foreign governments (for international adoptions) means that many people are often confused and wondering how to go about adopting a child from abroad. This confusion, of course, makes it a perfect breeding ground for fraudsters to find their mark.
