The child was Maced in an orphanage and on )ct. 14, a court convicted the Mooneys of attempted illegal adoption and sentenced them o 28 months in prison. The Mooneys say they paid 56,000 in various fees and did- 1’t know they were breaking he law. They said they put he baby in a cardboard box on he floor of their car to keep ler from rolling off the back eat, not to hide her. A Bucharest court overturned the prison sentences on Nov. 16, passed a suspended sentence and ordered the couple out of the country. A 10-day waiting period for the prosecution to appeal ended Monday. A diplomatic wrangle be tween Romanian and British officials followed the Mooneys’ conviction. President Ion Ilies- cu promised to pardon the cou ple on a visit to Britain earlier this month.
