In a video posted to the Police Department’s official YouTube channel on November 19, Lieutenant Colonel Vache Hovsepyan, who heads the police-dedicated organized crime unit, revealed that his team had uncovered cases dating as far back as 2009.

Oh come on. The corruption involved with Armenian adoptions goes back to the 1990’s. Take a good look at the number of adoptions over those years by Hopscotch adoptions and other agencies. For years the Armenian consulate here in the USA demanded that they do the document translation charging adoptive parents thousands of dollars. I personally determined and educated Hopscotch and adoptive parents to perform the translation service in Armenia for a fraction of those fees. The U.S. consulate and the Armenian Government has known for many years the huge tips being paid to everyone involved in the supply chain of children. Look at the numbers of adoptions that were done during the high years of adoptions. Track the money paid by the adoptive parents to the agencies? Follow the money. Can it be accounted for? No it cannot. Putting on quite a show here of indignation and shock. Were those Government agents involved with the sourcing of infants at the hospital born to parents or single women who could not care for them economically? These episodes of “Exposing” the dark side of adoptions has gone on many times over the last 20 years and then just faded into memories.
Sizemore says “Birth families are so relieved that another mother is doing what they could not do for their child,” she insisted.
Oh yes birth mothers are oozing with happiness to have their child taken from them and raised by strangers.
I don’t think so, the story is very clear that several birth mothers as well as adoptive parents stepped forward to discuss the irregularities.

I hope these birth mothers are reunited with their children, the least Robin Sizemore and her previous employer (CAS) Carolina Adoption Services can do is open up the records back to 1999 when they were under the old “open adoption” system. Perhaps Robin Sizemore who has made millions off adoptions, could make restitution to those mothers whose babies were taken then sold to her in country facilitators., At least the Italians have a culture to teach our children, some of the people Robin has as clients have no intention of introducing the Armenian culture to their adoptive children.
This type of thing and worse has been happening in other European countries since at least 50 years ago or more. For example, In Spain since the 1950s and even into the 1990s, thousands of babies were taken from “unfit mothers” in hospitals and sold into adoption. Who knows how far back this was a practice. Sad to know the motherland has suffered this scandal.
