Adoption scam victims revel in happy ending
In Walnut Creek California a couple, Alette and Bob Temple, finally adopt Kathryn Taylor Temple after months of heartbreak from a scam by Maya-Anna Mays who pretended to be pregnant and took $14000 in expenses. Alette, a 32 year old psychologist with cerebral palsy, and Bob, 52, a cancer survivor, pursued the child despite agencies doubting them. The case prompted a wider pursuit leading to Mays’s arrest and a later real adoption by another expectant mother inspired by the Temples’ resolve.
