In a practice known as "private re-homing," people seeking to unload children, and adults seeking to take them, connect through online forums on Yahoo and Facebook, privately arranging custody transfers that can bypass government oversight and sometimes violate the law.
In a single Yahoo group examined by Reuters, a child was offered to strangers on average once a week during a five-year period. At least 70 percent of those children were listed as having been adopted from overseas. Twenty-six of them were said to come from Russia. Yahoo has taken down the group.
This might very well be a major front for pedo trafficking. We should explore "Rehoming". I am going to flair this "Potential Lead". Don't schools have truancy laws where they come after kids that don't show up at their registered school?
Excellent post, insightful analysis. I have family in Russia and I keep hearing disturbing rumors about foreigners posing as loving couples who are in fact pedo enablers.

Not rumors. A married homosexual couple from Australia did that exact thing.
