Woman charged after baby promised to 2 adopted families
A Florida woman is accused of defrauding two sets of would-be parents, telling both that they would adopt her baby.
Now 33-year-old Christina Bay is awaiting trial, along with childbirth. She was arrested Wednesday on charges of adoption deception and fraud.
On Oct. 22, adoption attorney Brian Kelly told police that a couple he represents funded a $15,000 escrow account to cover Bay's living expenses for six months. The couple thought they were adopting Bay's baby, due Nov. 22.
Police said Bay took $14,254 from Kelly’s clients’ escrow account and she also took $3,942 from another escrow account. The latter was created by Lauren Feingold, a West Palm Beach attorney representing the second couple, the report stated.
In July, Bay was interviewed by The News-Journal after the Bayview Hotel, where she and her boyfriend had been living, burned down.
