The former head of Adoption by Choice, an Alberta adoption agency that closed suddenly in May, is facing a criminal fraud charge, CBC News has learned. "I received a message from an extended health company who wanted to speak to me about some counselling services for a specific person," Huffey told CBC. "But I'd never provided any counselling services personally or professionally. Huffey confronted Kindrat over email later in January 2019 about the alleged identity theft, but says Kindrat denied it. Huffey said she twice shared her concerns with Adoption Services within Alberta Children's Services — first in November 2019, and again in January, after Kindrat had been charged.
