B. The birthmother asks for an airline ticket to deliver the baby in the adoptive parent’s location
C. Major delays in delivering proof of pregnancy after fees are paid
D. The birthmother is reluctant to work with an attorney; claims she’ll feel more like giving her baby up if she works directly with adoptive parentsExplanation
The birthmother asking for money for rent, food, etc., and wanting adoptive parents to pay her directly is a typical adoption scam because it is not the adoptive parents' responsibility to financially support the birthmother. Similarly, the birthmother asking for an airline ticket to deliver the baby in the adoptive parent's location is a scam because the birthmother should be responsible for her own travel arrangements. Major delays in delivering proof of pregnancy after fees are paid can also be a scam as it raises suspicions about the legitimacy of the adoption process. Lastly, the birthmother being reluctant to work with an attorney and preferring to work directly with adoptive parents can be a red flag as it indicates a lack of legal guidance and oversight in the adoption process.Rate this question:
