A 23-year-old Arizona woman is refusing to tell police what she did with her soon-to-be-adopted son. The woman had been in conversations with a couple who wanted to adopt the 8-month-old child, but fled the state after she changed her mind.

"Jack Smith [the adoptive father] admitted he thought the entire adoption process with Johnson [the biological mother] felt strange, but that they all lived nearby and they had bonded with the baby after keeping him for a couple of weeks in December." [Source: ABC News]

Johnson has since told police that she gave her baby to a married couple in San Antonio, Texas, after the childs biological father refused to go along with her original adoption plans, ABC has reported. Police are uncertain how much of Johnsons story is true, and she is not forthcoming with additional details.
