This article from the Los Angeles Times shines a light on some of the stories of parents in China whose babies were taken from them to be placed for intercountry adoption. "Some parents are beginning to come forward to tell harrowing stories of babies who were taken away by coercion, fraud or kidnapping -- sometimes by government officials who covered their tracks by pretending that the babies had been abandoned," says the article. "Parents who say their children were taken complain that officials were motivated by the $3,000 per child that adoptive parents pay orphanages."
