Authority satisfied registered Mexican adoptions safe

THE Adoption Authority (AAI) said it is satisfied all registered adoptions here from Mexico are “safe and secure” following more arrests in connection with an alleged trafficking ring planning to sell babies to Irish couples.

Prosecutors questioning 11 Irish couples about the apparent child trafficking ring, yesterday rescued a tenth baby and arrested three more women.

Authorities in the Mexican city of Guadalajara took the nine-month old baby boy into care after he was discovered at a country house in the town of Tonala, a suburb of the city.
