Wisonsin Couple Faces Charges of Illegal Adoption

A Wisconsin couple is in jail on abduction charges after it was discovered that they coerced a young woman into giving them her baby. The woman said she was approached by the couple while she was still pregnant, and was offered $3,000 for her child:
Bobbi Jo Dolski, 32, and her husband, Jason A. Dolski, 30, were arrested earlier this month on charges including abduction of another's child, unauthorized placement of adoption, false statement on a birth certificate and neglecting a child. ...

The couple has tried twice to get a child before their arrest. Four years ago, the couple was raising a child whose mother was addicted to drugs and later refused to give the child back. The biological mother later got custody. In 2008, the couple offered $3,000 to a woman to be a surrogate, but she declined. (Source: The Wausau Daily Herald)
The baby, now 14 months old, is in foster care.
