Jody Hall, a 68-year-old Dallas-area woman who runs an adoption agency, has been accused of “unethical adoption practices” in relation to a scheme to pay incarcerated women in the Tarrant County jail system to place their unborn children in her agency.
According to Fox 4 News, Hall, who runs Adoptions International Inc., allegedly added $846 to one incarcerated woman’s account and also attempted to arrange a meeting with her boyfriend so he could sign away his parental rights. According to investigators, Hall communicated with one incarcerated woman by texting her on her jail tablet.
“I’ve helped a lot of girls like yourself. We have families who cannot have children that would love to adopt your child,” Hall wrote. “You can pick a family and start communicating with them now. We will put $100 weekly on your books, and you can spend part of it on the tablet or whatever you wish to buy.”
In another incident, Hall transferred $846 to an incarcerated woman’s account but became irate when she decided to keep the baby.
“You’re in jail and a drug addict. YOU! Did NOT keep him. You are a scammer, and I will be telling the prosecutor in your case,” Hall wrote, according to investigators. “I don’t need birth moms that lie to me just to get financial support. And I can’t give you anymore if he’s not willing to sign the paperwork.”
