Leavitt, Attorney David Keene, (U.S. and Canada adoptions) Leavitt was successfully sued for $8-million for conspiring to help a woman give up her child for adoption against the father's wishes. AmFOR intervened in the Kiefer case and in general, with regard to his prectice of soliciting pregnant women via newspaper ads nationwide to come to California where he is licensed to practice, then would advise them to deliver and relinquish their babies in Canada in order to prevent fathers from asserting their claims of parental rights. "The number of American children being adopted by foreign parents is a number that isn�t tracked, according to the U.S. Department of State. However, Canadian immigration statistics show that 600 U.S. born children have been adopted by Canadians since 1995... Experts speculate that the number of children placed abroad is growing; Indianapolis adoption attorney Steven Kirsh placed over 100 American-born children since 1991."
