The United States adoption laws need to be changed to include adoption deception and fraud clauses. These new laws will assist prosecutors and law enforcement agencies to win convictions against these scammers that prey on families trying to adopt. Whether the crimes they are committing involves pretending to be pregnant or no intention to adopt; in order for them to obtain money under false pretences. If a person/s is caught conducting an adoption scam they should be held accountable. Punishable by jail time and made to pay restitution to the victims of their scam. Please sign this petition and help get the laws changed

I am gathering documentation on these deceptive practices to present directly to legislators. Post this link on your Facebook page and tag your local representatives to demand a meeting on this issue. We need to force them to acknowledge that this fraud is a systemic problem requiring immediate criminal penalties.

The momentum behind this fight is proof that people are ready to stop these scammers. Now we need to move from digital support to direct pressure by emailing your local representative to demand legislative action. Tell them that adoption fraud must be a crime with real consequences.
