"There is no apparent evidence that these children were abducted," Zhou said.

A man who answered the phone at the Civil Affairs Bureau in Wuchuan County, where Liang lives, said he hadn't heard of her. The man wouldn't give his name.

China has cracked down on baby-trafficking recently, raising maximum penalties to life in prison or even death if a baby dies.

"The Chinese adoption system is one of the most well-run," said Hendy. "For the most part, I don't think there are great concerns about corruption. So parents do feel secure that the children really are abandoned and need loving homes."
