Yes, in one of the most painful ways possible. My husband and I were trying to adopt, and we got taken by an emotional scam artist who was so good that she fooled adoption agency professionals at more than one agency. She never asked for money- it was just phone calls and the hope that we would have a baby at last. We found out she was a scam when she disappeared from contact hours before we boarded the plane to Denver to meet her. She is still out there scamming people, but because it’s all talk and no goods are exchanged, we’ve been told that she isn’t committing a prosecutable crime. I can’t think of many more heinous crimes, myself, than preying on the emotions of people who desperately want a child. This is one sick and twisted individual.
