Nevada faces push to end baby selling racketeering
The 1963 Nevada Legislature is urged to pass a strong adoption reform to protect children and stabilize custody by curbing unscrupulous practices. Advocates cite cases of illegal adoptions, past operators of houses of ill fame, and the need for tighter licensing and fee regulations for doctors and lawyers involved in adoptions. A bill to criminalize baby selling is in preparation along with other measures to tighten supervision of agencies and improve adoption law.
