We adopted an adult woman and paid for her flights to America but now fear she’s GHOSTING us
A COUPLE feared they may been ghosted after paying the fare of a Transatlantic flight for an adult woman they were due to adopt.
Danny and Christy, who are set to appear on a new A&E TV docuseries, raised concerns about their potential new family member when she failed to contact them at the airport.
In sneak peek clip for the show, that follows six stories of adults seeking legal adoption, we meet a couple who are set to adopt a young pregnant woman from Austria called Ileana.
But as the big day arrives, the pair were left “stressed” and “anxious” when it appeared that the mother-to-be was a no show.
The frantic video, released by People, opens as Danny is on the phone trying to get information about her flight.
“I’m stressed, I’m anxious. Because I booked the ticket I was hoping they would tell me yeah there’s a butt in the seat, but I couldn’t get through,” he says.
His partner Christy then adds: “We can’t get in touch with Ileana, we don’t really know what to do, we’re spending money on Ileana’s plane tickets and now she’s ghosted us,”
“I’ve had worries that Danny’s being used and I’m being used for a couple months now. He’s been sending her money and basically asking how high he should jump.”

A panicked Danny then decides he should try and meet Ileana at the airport.
“I know what’s going to happen, that is we’re going to go to Columbus. It is the only sane thing to do,” he says.
“Christy has a lot of concerns about, ‘Was Ileana legit? Is she catfishing us? Is there a money angle here?,” he nervously adds.
Viewers will be able to tune into the premiere of Adults Adopting Adults on the A&E channel on January 31 at 10pm ET/PT.
The show will also be available on demand and to stream on the A&E app and aetv.com, according to the network.
What exactly is Adults Adopting Adults about?
Adults Adopting Adults is a new 10-episode series that follows six stories of adults seeking legal adoption
The legality of adult adoption varies state by state and the reasons for each adult seeking adult adoption is unique to each person.
The term “chosen family” is one used when usually referring to the LGBT community as they find family in communities outside the families they were born into.
The same can be said for those who are estranged from their families for a multitude of reasons.
“While some who participate are looking to make sincere familial bonds, others may have more deceptive or even sinister motivations,” the A&E network writes.
