Baby for sale? ALISON and GARY STUCKEY - (2010) AZ/ Salt Lake City UT

An Arizona couple accused
of trying to illegally sell their baby in Utah have been found at a
Salt Lake City hospital.
Hospital staff reported that Alison and Gary Stuckey were at Salt
Lake Regional Medical Center about 7 p.m. Saturday, said Wes Hutchins,
an attorney for a foster couple who are adopting three of the couple's
other children. Alison Stuckey is more than eight months pregnant, but
as of Saturday night the child had not yet been born, he said.
Salt Lake City police served the couple with a court order to appear
at a hearing in front of 3rd District Judge Terry Christiansen at 10:30
a.m. Wednesday. If they do not appear, Christiansen could issue a
warrant for their arrest.
On Friday, Christiansen signed a protective order giving custody of
their child to the Department of Child and Family Services. It was based
on information from the foster couple, who found out Alison Stuckey was
again pregnant about three months ago. They offered to take the baby in
addition to the other children, but Alison Stuckey told them she had
found an attorney in Salt Lake City who was willing to give her $6,000
for the baby, according to court documents.
The foster couple also alleged the Stuckeys illegally sold another
child in January 2007, the documents say.

Judge denies protective order against couple
accused of baby-selling

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - A judge denied a protective order for the
unborn child of Alison and Gary Stuckey.

The Stuckeys are accused of selling babies for money.

A Salt Lake City attorney claims that Alison Stuckey is about to give birth a baby and plans to sell it
for $6,000.

Wesley Hutchings represents a Utah couple who previously adopted three of Stuckey’s children legally.

The couple recently learned that Stuckey was pregnant and about to give birth. Hutchings said the couple wanted to adopt the baby.

“The mother indicated she would love to have the baby but she (Stuckey) needed the money,” Hutchings said. “She came to Utah according to the evidence we have to sell the child.”

According to court documents, Stuckey “located a lawyer in Salt Lake City who would give
her $6,000 when she turns the baby over to him.”

On Wednesday, a Utah Judge denied the request for an order to protect the unborn child
carried by Alison Stuckey, citing that he had no jurisdiction over an unborn fetus, and that protective orders could only be issued on behalf
of children under 18 years old.

The Judge ordered that the Stuckeys were free to go.

In 2007, the court documents claimed Stuckey:

“...sold a baby. The lawyer moved them to Salt Lake City for 2 months and put them up in an apartment with their
three kids and paid her medical expenses. Then when she handed the baby
over to the lawyer she was given $6,000 and they moved back to Arizona.”
OnFriday, Hutchins was granted a child protective order that will be used to warn hospitals about Stuckey.

Alison's father Duane Criswell from in Mesa Arizona told ABC4 News that his daughter has been on the
move for several years, and that she has a drug problem.

Outside the courthouse on Wednesday, Gary Stuckey said the issue was all a
"misunderstanding" and told members of the media, "We have no intention
of selling the baby."

Stuckey went on to say, "We're going to lead a happy life and get on with this and that's about it. That's all
we have to say."

When a reporter asked whether the Stuckeys intended to keep the baby or not, Stuckey replied, "No, we're going to
put the baby up for adoption that was the whole idea of coming here to begin with."

Despite the setback Hutchins said he plans to keep fighting.

"Once we have a child that is born we can take the appropriate measures and have our day in court," he said.

The Stuckey's attorney who also represents "A Act of Love" the adopting agency for the Stuckeys said the couple was never doing anything wrong.


"The bottom line is they are working with an agency that has tofollow the law," Jenkins said. "Everybody is aware of this case. So
you can be sure that the folks at the state are going to be following this adoption to make sure it's done properly."

Freakin idiot people. I wish they would sterize them so they'd quite producing innocent children. Sounds like the mother turned tricks and took drugs during her pregnancy. I can't believe they didn't get more time in jail.
