Uganda’s child adoption ‘market’ brings misery and confusion

Amy Fallon, The Guardian

Stuart, then five, and his cousin Juliet Tendo, seven, were taken to the US by a caring Baptist family who had been given a legal guardianship order in June 2009 after arriving in Uganda. The children were later adopted through a US court. They were given what were said to be legal death certificates for Juliet’s mother and Stuart’s father. It was only in summer 2011 that the Hodges learned that both were, in fact, still alive.
