The adoption industry in the U.S. is a multi-billion-dollar business, where demand outpaces the number of infants available for adoption. In “Baby Brokers,” FRONTLINE and Retro Report investigate a loosely-regulated corner of the industry described as “adoption tourism” and examine how allegations of misconduct involving for-profit agencies and brokers have mounted.
The documentary illuminates a patchwork system, where allegations of misconduct have stacked up in states like Utah with historically more permissive laws.
In the documentary, the head of an adoption agency in Utah says that out-of-state adoptions fulfill an important need. But other sources express concern about how brokers and agencies have used cash and housing offers as incentives for vulnerable women in other states.
In recent months, Utah has moved to tighten some of its laws in response to mounting criticisms from birth mothers, their advocates, and adoptive parents. And at the federal level, lawmakers from a number of states are backing a bipartisan bill aimed at reining in unlicensed brokers who funnel pregnant women and families across state lines for adoptions.
As the debate over “adoption tourism” continues, “Baby Brokers” is a must-watch exploration of the practice, the role of brokers, and the impact on both birth mothers and adoptive parents.
