Samoan Adoptees Restitution Fund Payments Temporarily Cut
“Scott and Karen Banks, who operated Focus on Children, were ordered to pay $85,000 into the Samoan Adoptees Restitution Fund to help some 80 children —including 66 placed with U.S. families — maintain contact with their birth parents.
The proposed payment schedule would cut the Banks’ current monthly obligation in half, to $650, for the next five months. It would then increase $50 a month until April 2012. The U.S. Attorney’s Office has agreed to the proposal, which leaves their total obligation unchanged.”
Funds’ Usage
“Jini L. Roby, who agreed to oversee the fund at no charge, said a “significant amount” has been paid so far into the fund, which is supposed to eventually reach $100,000.
