BLUE RIDGE, Ga. (AP) - A Georgia couple is in custody after they allegedly tried to induce an adoption with the promise of a car.
The Times reports 44-year-old William McClain and 36-year-old Rebecca McClain, of Blue Ridge, were arrested Thursday after the Georgia Bureau of Investigation was asked to help the Fannin County Sheriff’s Office’s investigation of a couple persuading a mother to sign over her rights to her 10-month-old child “for the consideration of a vehicle.”
The GBI says the child had been in the McClains’ care for several weeks. Rebecca McClain came to know about the baby through her former position at the Union County Division of Family and Children Services.
The child is now in foster care.
It’s unknown if either has an attorney.
