How Ugandans Lose Their Children to the U.S.

Uganda is one of many countries plagued by fraudulent international adoptions. Unscrupulous brokers, weak institutions and inadequate reforms have led hundreds, perhaps thousands, of children to be separated from their families in recent years. Anna Cavell reports on the experiences of Ugandan families whose children were taken to the United States. Her reporting was undertaken in a collaboration between the Investigative Fund at the Nation Institute and The Nation magazine.
