Possible scam?

We are hoping to adopt and have been on Parent profiles for a few months. I got a voicemail message the other day from a girl in Jamaica asking me to call her if I was interested in adopting her baby. That is all she said, I couldn't even understand what she said her name was. The phone number is definately from Jamaica, I looked it up. Should I even call her back? I have researched that Jamaica is hard to adopt from so I don't even know if it would be possible if it was legit. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!

Be very cautious. If possible, have your lawyer call her. International adoption does not usually work on this basis.

I definitely would not call her back. Sounds like a scam to me.
