The owner of a defunct, Boulder-area adoption agency has been arrested on suspicion of stealing money from people who used her agency. The woman, identified in The Longmont Times-Call as Lisa Novak, was released after posting a $10,000 bond; she has been ordered to appear in court April 4 to hear the charged filed against her. Novak and her husband ran the Claar Foundation, which claimed to handle adoption in Guatemala and Russia, among other countries. Colorado police are saying that checks that Claar sent to Guatemala bounced and families were denied refunds to which they were entitled.

NewspaperThe largest circulation newspaper in New Jersey is calling on state legislators to reject a bill to open sealed adoption records. The Star Ledger takes issue with most of the arguments that the bill's backers have used to advance it, from adoptee rights to the need for medical histories. "Changing the law retroactively," it concludes, "is just plain wrong". The bill (S611) passed the New Jersey Senate earlier this week and now goes to the state's Assembly. The Minneapolis Star Tribune has written an editorial against a similar bill pending in Minnesota.
