agency and she wanted to talk to us right away. This
should have been a clue. She called our agency and
spoke to the director, gave a mailing address for our
profile and home study info and they set up a 3-way
call with the agency director listening in speaking to
my wife. She then emailed us and wanted to speak
again, on her dime, and when could she call us to talk
to me, the husband. She then sent many emails and
even got us in a yahoo! IM chat for over an hour.
I am very jaded by all this. She never asked for
money. She just seemed to want to draw us in to talk
to her. Very sad that someone would get their jollies
by tugging the emotional strings of people who want to
adopt a child. What could they possibly get out of
this.
Later she emailed that she will be in Newark, NJ and
could we meet her at the airport. She even gave us
and our agency a phone number that turns out to not be
listed and is likely a cell phone. The FedEx package
of our profile from the agency, along with releases
for proof of pregnancy for her to fill out, was
refused at the delivery address -- no such address!
The agency knew then for sure she was scamming. They
tried to keep us calm at the beginning saying that the
line "Hi! I'm having twins and want to place them
with you" is the biggest scam going around especially
in internet chat rooms and now email contact.
Just thought you all should know. We heard she gave a
very similar, some details were different but the gist
is the same, to another couple in NY. We are in NY
also and heard this other person's story by mentioning
the situation to someone.
She used the email address: drumnkristin@yahoo.com.
she said she is due in mid October. She said she has
had ultrasounds already and twins were confirmed. she
said her boyfriend supports the placement into
adoption. She said Jeff was 28, a mechanical
engineer, very handom, 6'2", 240 lbs. She said they
were both caucasian with light hair, live in the San
Jose area.
I'm wondering if perhaps we were scammed by the same young lady? You see I had a baby at 15 that I gave up for adoption. In October 2002, a young lady claiming to be my daughter contacted me. When we went to New Jersey to see her she said she was pregnant with twins, and wanted us to adopt them. Of course my husband and I said yes. We've been trying to add to our family for 7 years. But things didnt add up. Eventually through alot of investegating we discovered that her name was Kristin, and lived in Bayonne New Jersey...7 miles from Newark. She had been in California earlier that year....any way I wonder how far she would have taken this had we not discovered who she really was? She really wasnt pregnant....I think she just wanted money from us....

I have just read your story and find this kind of criminally cruel behavior in many many many people in our world today. I do not understand how anyone can be psycologically and emotionally deceiving and cruel. I think that this behavior in the majority of humankind is the show of the times. It is so very sad. I also have been victimized by people like this and they only positive thing that I can try to remember is that I have learned to be wiser, smarter, better (as far as a decent humanbeing and citizen) and that NO ONE WILL EVER BULL THAT ON ME AGAIN. No, mind me, things still happen, but never the same way or under the same circumstances ever again. At least I am learning that this world is not heaven and what ever does not kill us, makes us stronger. So that when we finally are blessed with our most deepest joy we will appreciate it that much more. I hope I have given a little positive feedback. I only want to help those who ache for the one thing that would complete their lives. A word of encouragement, wisdom and love. God Bless you in your journey and Good Luck.
May all your experiences in life enlighten you so your memories bring you laughter and joy in your heart(s).
Your Buddy,
