Texas Attorney Charged with Buying Unborn Babies from Inmates

Jody Hall, founder of Adoptions International, faces felony charges for unethical adoption practices involving pregnant inmates.

Hall allegedly paid pregnant Tarrant County inmates to place their unborn children up for adoption.
Her agency, Adoptions International, lost its accreditation in 2019 for failing to comply with standards.
Investigators discovered payments to inmates' commissary accounts in exchange for adoption agreements.
Hall threatened inmates who changed their minds about giving up their babies, according to arrest warrants.
The charges against Hall highlight legal and ethical issues in adoption practices.
