JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – A warrant is out for a woman from Stutsman County accused in an adoption scam.

Felony charges have been filed against Betty Jo Krenz of Woodworth. Mothers have accused Krenz of staging adoptions, taking money and never producing a baby for foster care. The case has been detailed in 60 pages of court documents.

Families say Krenz used her background as a Spirit Lake social worker to produce fake adoption papers. Documents filed Monday show Krenz told one mom she was heavily involved in the Savanna Greywind case and expected to get custody of Greywind’s child.

Krenz now faces a felony and misdemeanor count of theft, and another felony for using personal information without permission.

The criminal complaint says she took between $1,000 and $10,000 from those families.

If convicted, Krenz could get up to 10 years in prison and $20,000 in fines.
