Brazil - misc trafficking cases
1986 article:
Over the past four years, at least 1,500 babies have been illegally adopted by Israeli, U.S., Canadian, West German, French and Italian couples, according to the federal police.
The foreigners, eager to acquire babies quickly, generally did not know they were doing anything wrong by paying fees to middlemen, federal police said. In fact, they added, Brazilian traffickers lied to adoptive parents by telling them local regulations required a payment of $5,000 to $10,000 for each child.
