2 moms charged in adoption scams were Florida jail inmates

Two Florida women scammed two adoptive couples in cases that appear unrelated but started when they were pregnant in the same jail, authorities said. The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release that no evidence indicates the scams were coordinated, but acknowledged both women signed the pre-birth agreements around the same time while being held at the county jail in Clearwater, Florida. Authorities arrested Angelica Lopez, 30, on Wednesday and Ceara Rae Stowe, 26, on Friday on one and two counts of adoption deception, respectively because Stowe gave birth to twins.
