How To Adopt A Guatemalan Child, it goes like this: a foreign couple travels more or less unprepared to brazil; they visit a private children’s home or hospital, such as this clinic.
the doctor who has assisted with the birth falsifies the birth certificate of the brazilian child, giving it the same surname as the foreign couple. they go to the civil registry and report the child as their own child, having coincidentally been born during their holiday. after that, the child can be taken abroad with a brazilian passport. most foreigners do not speak a word of portuguese, requiring a translator to fill out the paperwork.
