Can't a nmom go to the market in a 3rd world country without having someone steal their children to be sold to foreigners?

Answer 1

It isn't anti adoption propaganda. It is awareness that people that refuse to go through legal avenues and bypass adoption laws have something to hide. There are evil people out there peddling children to be groomed as prostitutes and/or slaves.  It is difficult to know what exactly is happening to these children.  I am sure in these 3rd world countries a child can be adopted without the I want it and I want it now attitude.  Hopefully in can be monitored more and look into the flesh trade more to find the real problems.  Just because a child is spirited away to a large mansion somewhere doesn't mean it is having a life any child deserves.  The UN needs more involvement in this hidden crime and quit coddling international criminals of the flesh trade.  The devil can be in the friendly face of a tourist.

Answer 2

it is what adoption has become because people can make a profit on it... why on earth would a parent have to pay $30,000 to didn't Madona pay a million to give a child without a family a home?  (but then Madona's child had a father who could have raised him... which is a whole other set of issues)

once people make money off of something, it becomes like this..

even the public US foster system is caught up in all this money making c**p... there are people willing to adopt, but because the agency that holds them is ran like the nightmare DMV, they sit there not being part of any family...

then agencies make billions off of them, keeping them away from family... heck you even have people taking in a bunch of them getting $30,000 a month to house them... then some of the "treatment homes" get $490 per day per child...

if the money were out of it, this stuff would not happen...

Answer 3

It kind of sounds like a copy cat crime.  Since the rare occurrences of child trafficking for adoptions is in the media so much these days (and it's usually the same story told over and over in different ways to make it seem as though there is much more going on then in reality) that some b@st@rds think they should use the scam as long as they can get away with it for now.  There are tons of unscrupulous individuals out in the world and they are willing to steal babies for their own profit.

Answer 4

Yeah but you know according to people like Kristy, this kind of thing is rare anyway so it doesn't matter.

And besides, the kids get to go to a cool big house in Suburbia USA with shiny white parents and they get a Wii in their rooms, so what is there to complain about?  So what if they were stolen, they are getting a better life!!!!

Pffffft.

Answer 5

Um... neither?

I don't think it's propaganda. I'm sure it happened, and I know this isn't the only case where something similar occurred.

But I also think it's overly simplistic to call it "what adoption has become." The fact that illegal actions are unfortunately taken in some situations does not mean that every situation is illegal or immoral.

I think that people should very carefully consider the ethics of the adoptions they are planning, but I don't think that children who genuinely need permanent homes should be denied them because adoption is always assumed to be corrupt. Ethics versus corruption will always be in the hands of individual people, not in concepts.

Answer 6

Honestly, what I find interesting about that article is that the government immediately stopped accepting children from that agency....and appears to be trying to investigate and change the way adoption works.

I wish America would do the same.

Answer 7

Firstly there is no 'anti-adoption propaganda' out there, just those who chose to see the ugly side of adoption and are educating others about it as well.

Secondly, where have you been??  This has been going on for soooooo long; there has even been children kidnapped in America for the purpose of adopting them out and making money.  What do you think the Black Market in the adoption business is all about???  Where there is a demand, there will always be those who take matters into their own hands and make $$ off it.  This article doesn't surprise me at all. Seriously, why do you think people are against adoption?  Because it creates situations such as these for a start.
