Then you have situations like these adoptees:
"Brandon Keith Riley-Mitchell, now married to Logan Riley, is confirmed to be a Tier 1 s*x offender in Pennsylvania, convicted in 2016 for s*xual abuse of a minor and child c*rnography possession .
The offense stemmed from attempts to solicit s*xual activity from a 16-year-old student, involving more than 12,000 exchanged text messages and nude photos/videos discovered on his laptop, although no in-person contact was documented .
He pleaded guilty to felony counts (including Corruption of Minors and Child c*rnography) and was sentenced to up to 23 months in prison—but was granted parole after just two months. One condition of parole was that he have no unsupervised contact with minors and surrender his teaching license .
How the Couple Gained Custody via Surrogacy
In 2023, Brandon and Logan Riley launched a GoFundMe campaign and obtained a gestational surrogacy arrangement, which culminated in the birth of their child in Pennsylvania .
Under Pennsylvania law, gestational surrogacy with pre-birth parentage orders allows intended parents to bypass normal adoption laws—even if one has a criminal history. That means the child is legally issued in their names before birth, avoiding traditional adoption protocols .
Reduxx confirms: “While Pennsylvania’s adoption law does prohibit s*x offenders from adopting or fostering children, gestational surrogacy circumvents any such laws through pre‑birth parentage orders” .
