(1/2) Nearly 20 years ago, social worker Mary Jarman called a young adoption agent named Paul Petersen to discuss regulating Marshallese adoptions. She was worried that birth mothers were being exploited. He was not, she said. azcentral.com/story/news/loc… via azcentral

Historical policies that sealed records and cloaked adoption in secrecy created the perfect environment for those (like Petersen) who would exploit mothers and babies for profit.
