Poland - European Adoption Constants case

Incident date: 2015

Country: Poland

placement

Organizations: European Adoption Consultants

Two sisters from Poland were sourced for adoption by European Adoption Consultants (EAC) in 2015. One of the girls was placed with a couple in Utah, who told the agency they could only care for one child. The left-over child was placed with agency worker Debra Parris son John Tufts and his wife Georgiana. The authorities in the US and in Poland were never told about this arrangement and the Tufts were never vetted by adoption officials. The girl placed with the Tufts went on to be sexually abused by her adoptive father.
