  • Emotional Adoption Scams in Adoption

    Emotional Adoption Scams in Adoption
    2025/10/07
    In this important episode of Let's Talk Adoption, hosts Heather Featherston and Kim King address a difficult topic: emotional scams targeting hopeful adoptive families. Although adoption scams are rare, understanding how they work is crucial for protecting yourself on your adoption journey. The hosts discuss a recent high-profile federal case that highlights the devastating impact of emotional scams. Unlike financial scams focused on money, emotional scams revolve around manipulation for attention, power, or control. These aren't situations where an expectant mother legitimately changes her mind—they involve people who never intended to place a child at all. Heather and Kim outline key red flags families should watch for, including urgency and control, story inconsistencies, constant crises, isolation tactics, and over-the-top manipulation. They conclude with an important message: don't let fear of scams keep you from pursuing adoption. Experienced adoption professionals regularly field potential scams, so families don't have to. Far more real, life-changing stories of hope and connection exist than stories of scammers. When you work with a trusted agency, you have experienced advocates protecting your family and helping you navigate the adoption journey safely. For more details and practical advice, listen to the full episode. If you suspect you've encountered a scam, reach out to your adoption professional immediately.
