TAMPA (CN) - Couples trying to adopt children from Vietnam say the Little Pearls Adoptions Agency took $133,000 to "hold" children for them, then informed them it had a "license issue," and refuses to return the money. In the federal RICO complaint, the seven plaintiffs sued Debbie Fischer and Richard Feinberg, directors of Little Pearls, which formerly was known as "An Angelic Choice."

Little Pearls operates out of Tampa and South Pasadena, Fla., according to the complaint. The plaintiffs - three couples and a would-be mom - say the defendants took their money knowing that the adoptions couldn't be completed since the agency was not licensed.
