The authorities in Guatemala say they have rescued 46 more children and babies they think may have be taken from their parents for illegal adoption by foreigners. Police say theinfants were found at a house in the city Antigua after neighbours reported seeing foreigners collecting children there every day. Daniel Schweimler reports.

The authorities are now investigating whether the children were stolen or their parents were coerced into giving them up. The Attorney General’s Office said the few of the children had the necessary paperwork and the house did not have permission to operate as an adoption centre. Last year couples in the United States have adopted more than 4,000 infants in Guatemala where it can take half the time and cost considerably less than it does elsewhere.
