Fran,
It's someone who really has no business being allowed in public...
We have a few folks who think it's fun (or maybe they believe it in their head) to pretend they are connected to adoption.
In this case, the user has adopted like 3945820 kids from various countries...of course, she has fabricated the entire story.
She makes promises to help people financially.
She contacts agencies and causes problems for people.
As far as I can tell, from talking to the Police in the California town where she lives, she is a mentally ill woman who lives with her enabeling parents who know what she's doing but won't do anything to stop her.
Because all she does is emotionally 'prey' on people - she hasn't officially broken the law - although, I spoke to an arson investigator last winter who said that because she'd actually sent a physical letter to them making similar promises that she makes to parents on adoption boards, it now could be a federal issue (postal stuff...I didn't understand and haven't followed up).
Anyway - troll basically means someone who isn't real. Emotional scammer if you will.
