In January 1997,the Guatemanlan cleaning woman,still heavily medicated after giving birth by Caesarian surgery,was coerced into signing away her baby to a lawyer who arranges international adoptions.De Leon managed to get her daughter back after a two-year court battle.Her cictory in Guatemala was rare--most women in her situation,often illiterate and poor,either assume nothing can be done or don not know how to fight the system.
Child robbery is extraordinarily commonplace here.
This impoverished republic is the fourth-largest exporter of children in the world,a ranking kept by often ruthless means.According to a recent UN investigation,the majority of international adoptions out Guatemala are illegal.
In a report to the United Nations'Human Rights Commission in Geneva,Ofelia Calcetas-Santos,aspecial UN investigator,said Guatemalan babies have been reduced to"objects of trade and commerce".
High-ranking lawyers,doctors and judges in Guatemala are involved in all aspects,from falsifying birth records to tricking or drugging illiterate birth mothers into signing over their babies.They are motivated by the large profits that flow out of the baby trade.
Adoptive American parents typically pay about ＄15,000,said Mario TAracena DiazSol,a Guatemala City attorney and advocate for international adoption law reform.He says about＄13,000 foes to the lawyer brokering the deal.Another ＄1,000 is a "finder's fee",paid to women who convince expectant mothers to give up their babies.The remaining ＄1,000 is split between medical costs and a payment to the mother before she gives birth,if the woman has agreed.
"We are concerned about fraud in the adoption process,"said Frank Neville,sopkesman for the U.S.Embassy in Guatemala city."When we are aware of the related information,we communicate that to the Guatemalan authorities.We certainly would be in favor of any legal or regulatory changes in the Guatemalan side that would make the process more transparent and would help eliminate fraud."
