Heading: Plaintiffs Kruger and Flenniken (Flenniken plaintiffs)

Text: The Flenniken plaintiffs allege that in January 2006, they received an invoice for foster care fees for $1050 for baby Maria, the child they hoped to adopt. In mid-March 2006, they traveled to Guatemala and discovered that baby Maria remained in an orphanage and had never lived in foster care. Beauvais then sent the Flenniken plaintiffs an email demanding that they pay the rest of the adoption fees, and they responded that, under the adoption contract, the fees were not due until the case was out of PGN (the Guatemalan family court), and they would not pay until that time. The couple alleges that in response the defendants sent a request to the Guatemalan attorney to stop the adoption until they were sent a certified check. The Flenniken plaintiffs further allege that due to their frustration with Waiting Angels and the individual defendants, they hired a different adoption agency to complete their adoption.
