Stolen Vidas : Some Guatemalan Babies in the U.S. Were Stolen From Their Mamis

18:12 H | Topics: Children - Controversia - Guatemala - Women

About a year ago, we wrote about some of the problems and attempts at solutions surrounding adoptions of Guatemalan children. Even after the passing a new law that imposed stricter standards on international adoptions, at least one baby, destined for the arms of a U.S family was been proven to have been stolen from her birth mother.
From the BBC:

Ana Escobar reported her daughter Esther Sulamita stolen last year and during her search saw the baby with a US woman who was adopting her.
The baby had a false birth certificate but DNA tests proved the parentage and Esther is now back with Ms Escobar.
