Stolen Vietnamese babies sold for adoption in West: report
Thomas Bell; 27/4/08
Vietnamese babies are being bought or stolen from parents to be sold for adoption in the West, according to a US Embassy investigation. In some cases hospitals sent babies to orphanages after their parents were unable to pay medical bills. In another, a grandmother sent a girl for adoption without telling the parents. The report by the US Embassy in Hanoi said: “In five provinces, we discovered unlicensed, unregulated facilities that provide free room and board to pregnant women in return for their commitment to relinquish their children upon birth.”
