The Interview Process

This information comes from a gal who has completed 3 adoptions and spoke to her attorney last evening, who she has remained in contact with since her completed adoptions:

• PGN has 10 tables set up to conduct the interviews
• They are interviewing the birthmom and FM. The attorneys also.
• The baby must be present so they can check the picture from the file with the actually baby.
• They check a list to confirm the baby hasn't been reported as stolen.
• They check the docs including the voluntary consent that they mother gave the baby for adoption.
• The interview lasts approx. 45 minutes.
• PGN has not announced a protocol for these interviews.
• The first lawyers to be interviewed are ones that have had problems in the past.
• Attorneys that have many cases in PGN are being targeted. They want to know how could so many children have been found by these attorneys. Some have as many as 200-300 cases.
• Some targeted attorneys also have prior legal cases against them and are interviewed.
• Yes PGN is pressing the birth mothers change their minds.
• Detectives from the police have been present.
• The offering of money to the birth mothers to change their mind has happened, but not in each interview.
