An adoption agency in Utah called Focus on Children has been accused of tricking people from the island of Samoa into giving their children up for adoption. The agency then supposedly described the children as "orphans" to potential adoptive families.

"More than 80 children were illegally taken from their families by conspirators working through the Wellsville office of Focus on Children (FOC), according to a federal indictment unsealed Thursday."

The company, its owners, and employees face over 130 counts of fraud including conspiracy and bringing illegal aliens into the United States. Read more at SLTrib.com.
