Colorado Adoption Agencies Scrutinized

The Colorado Department of Human Services will take 60 days to fully review the practices of all licensed adoption agencies operating within the state. The review comes on the heels of an investigation of fraud charges that have been brought against Claar Foundation adoption agency in Boulder.
"Police spokeswoman Sarah Huntley on Friday said investigators are still looking into allegations that Claar officials, including former Erie Trustee Lisa Novak and her husband, Martin Claar, defrauded and stole money from hopeful parents."
The Claar Foundation is one of two adoption agencies that have closed their doors since December, with another planning to close soon as well. The investigation, coupled with the closures, has raised concerns about the financial practices of Colorado agencies. The Department of Human Services plans to make its findings public once the investigation is complete. Read more at DailyCamera.com.
