Individuals behind illegal adoptions can include corrupt adoption agencies, unethical adoption facilitators, and even desperate birth parents or adoptive parents looking to bypass legal processes. These individuals may exploit vulnerable families and children for financial gain, or out of desperation to start or expand their families. Illegal adoption can involve falsifying documents, coercion, trafficking, and other criminal activities that can have long-lasting negative impacts on the adopted child and their birth family. It is important for prospective adoptive parents to thoroughly research and work with reputable agencies to ensure a legal and ethical adoption process.
