| Friday, 14 July, 2000, 13:28 GMT 14:28 UK Woman charged over 'net adoption' A Californian woman has been charged with giving away her 10-year-old son to a couple she met on the internet. Police say Helen Chase, 29, handed the boy over to his new parents and then moved to another town to start a new life. We were trying to see if he fitted well into the family Helen Chase "She told us basically, she was having trouble with her ten-year-old, problems at school, really typical 10-year-old stuff," Vacaville Police Detective Patrick Cowan said. "She just decided she couldn't deal with this kid and wanted to adopt him out, which is kind of unusual in the first place." Ms Chase says she wanted someone to adopt her son, John, because she could not cope with his bad behaviour. After searching internet chat-rooms, she came across a man she knew only as 'Gus' who agreed to travel to California to collect the child. Total stranger Police say Miss Chase handed the boy over to a total stranger on their first meeting. She then moved to another town, telling school authorities she was taking her son with her. She just decided she couldn't deal with this kid Police Detective, Patrick Cowan The boy has been living with 'Gus' - real name Gustaf Sjoberg - and his wife since April. Police found the boy apparently unharmed a few days ago, when Miss Chase's step-son told them John had been given away. The 10-year-old has now been placed in foster care but will be sent back to Vacaville in California. Problems at school Helen Chase has been charged with child endangerment, abandonment and failure to provide for a child. She is due to stand trial later this year. In an interview for a local newspaper, she said she had not actually started the adoption process. "We were trying to see if he fitted well into the family. We wanted him to go down, spend a little time and make sure it's a good place for him to be." No money was going to be charged for the illegal adoption, but the family from Florida were to be given travel expenses. ↑ |

| Again I ask the same thing Lucky what is you connection to adoption. Be careful if you are talking about something you are not educated in. Do you know how many adoptions take place in the US each year? As for the article below! THAT IS NOT HOW ADOPTION WORKS. That is only one incident. BUT besides all that. Do you really think there ar legit expectant moms here? Think again! I vote 99% are scams. ↑ |

This little guy was probably better off with his adoptive parents, no telling what the mother would have done! ↑ |

Wondering what your rights are as a birth parent or as an adoptive parent? Just looking for adoption information? You'll find all the support and advice you need when it comes to child adoption in this forum." ********** HHHMMM ......"Just looking for adoption information?" Example: Trixie and Davie are looking to adopt. Here is their adoption web site. www.lovingcouplelookingforangel.com.... WOW, that looks like adoption information to me!!! ↑ |

| Chat Rooms are NOT places for adoptive parents to solicit birthparents. It is not appropriate for hopeful parents to post “I can help” messages, or internet addresses for birthmothers to visit, or to send this type of e-mail to birthmothers. 9. Conversely, it is not appropriate for birthparents to use the Chat Room to solicit adoptive parents. Are you pregnant and considering adoption? We strongly recommend that you do not select adoptive parents or an adoption professional from the website. We have no way of knowing which parents on the message board or other community services are qualified to adopt, and which professionals are reputable. 10. We strongly recommend that you visit the Resources section of our website which lists all of the licensed adoption agencies in New Jersey. Any of these agencies can assist you with options planning. ↑ |
