Guatemala - Casa Quivira case

A probe of Casa Quivira, where 46 children in the process of being adopted by U.S. families were seized in a government raid, turned up a slew of irregularities, including at least five cases in which birth mothers were allegedly given false identities to avoid having to seek permission from family members and a judge to give up their babies.Eighteen other mothers could not be found under the identities that case files provided.
