StarfishMama and her husband have adopted children from the United States, Eastern Europe and Africa. She takes great pleasure is working with various charities that help the weaker and more vulnerable members of society.

There is just always so much information coming out of Africa, especially relating to children. Some good, some bad, some downright ugly.

From Nigeria, we have this: The "National Agency for the Prohibition of Traffic in Person (NAPTIP) has raised an alarm on the increasing incidences of sale of babies by Nigerian medical personnel, parents and operators of illegal children homes." Alarmingly, the next to last paragraph reads that this group: "discovered camps where pregnant teenagers are kept until delivery with their babies illegally adopted or sold for rituals". Really?

I just posted about some news out of Liberia, "accusing" an adoption "ministry" of sneaking out 7 children for placement in the US. The ministry in question, Addy's Hope, has posted a response on their website.
