The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) of the Philippines has issued a warning regarding the use of false social media accounts to advertise illegal adoptions in the country, according to this article from the Manila Bulletin. “We enjoin the public to help us in our efforts to end illegal adoption facilitated through social media networks because it’s tantamount to child trafficking. Illegal adoption should be stopped because it’s a practice that endangers the lives of children and adopted parents,” DSWD OIC Secretary Emmanuel Leyco said.
