The US government found many cases of women selling their babies. They were selling them to citizens of other countries too but the other countries didn't try to stop the adoptions.

Most people in the adoption field feel that it was a really stupid move by our government because it hurt the kids and the adoptive families and didn't stop the problem at all. I'm pretty sure that there's still a moratorium on American adoptions of Cambodian kids even though the families who were in process (one being my boss' daughter) were finally allowed to bring their children home.

Even though Angelina Jolie does have an English house, she's still supposed to be bound by the rules for Americans because she's a US citizen.
