Mrs. Mooney said the couple
ould no longer hope to adopt
Monica Baiaram because “we
ave a criminal record.”
The Mooneys were arrested
n July as they tried to smug-
e the 5-month-old baby
icross the Romanian-Hungari-
in border. 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.
