I actually think it's rather cute!  ALOT better than the pregnant man one.  It's making fun of parents who are so selfish as to want a child other than the one they have.

BESIDES, it's pretty obvious that it's a joke if you're paying any attention at all.  The "trade" was completed just EIGHT DAYS after the birth of "Adam" who was later renamed "Sammuel"...  Who has ever heard of an adoption being truly final that quickly?  Besides that, if you are TRADING a baby with a couple that you know well, why on earth wouldn't you have agreed on a name before the baby was born?  There were other clues as well - just in that one narrative.  The lawyers were able to do it quickly because both families were white???  What possible effect would race have to do on the legalities of a private double adoption?  Also, what would have happened if the prenatal sonograms were wrong...  no one in their right mind would have come up with such a plan given the error rates on such things - at least not until the kid was actually out of the womb!

Even more telling...  they claim to be only the 4th largest agency of this type in the US, and the 8th world wide.  If something like this was really happening on such a large scale, it wouldn't be so hushed up that no one has ever heard of such a thing.  People would be protesting it right and left - and news shows like 60 minutes would have already done a dozen "Trade's gone wrong" stories.

The kids profiles are even more obviously spoofs.  One of them says the boy has no allergies but "May have a bit of the Leukemia"...  and then goes on to say stuff like "May do outright sale" and "Highly Motivated to move this one" as if he were a piece of inventory...

Use your brains people!!!

In the US, yes. We have the worst legislation outside of 3rd world countries for child protection laws.

Welcome to the distorted world of "Adoption" where ignorance is accepted by the twisted as an excuse and a rational.

Edit:

The sample active pictures made me laugh so hard.

Whomever created this site is brilliant, it totally points out what is wrong with the adoption websites and with adoption in general.

"I am moer concerned with how it got online on the state website."

Just ask the I want to adopt at any cost people.

OMG I just looked at that site. I haven't heard of anything like that ever. That is so wrong, It can't be real. There's not way that can be legal.

Suck weird things on the internet.

This site, museum of hoaxes, says it is a hoax. What they're doing here is called Satire (a literary device), which means that they are attacking something by paoking fun or it and using wit. They are actually saying that you are responsibl for your children no matter whether you like them or not. It's all irony and sarcasm.

museumofhoaxes.com says it's a hoax. I can't imagine it's legal to trade your child in for another one.

I'm really glad that's a hoax.  It made me sick.

I'd believe about anything, though after seeing WWW.NAMBLA.ORG.

or the butterfly kisses website which has been taken down.  It's explained at : http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Butterf... (BE WARNED - graphic language)

I'd be curious to know the original website you found the link on.

Dear Richard,

Let me congratulate you on being human and outraged at the idea!

This site was originally the site for "Medical Adoptions" (the URL is the same), another hoax site made by clever folks who are doing a great job at SATIRE.

The goal of these sites is to shock people into seeing how twisted SOME SHEEPLE can be when it comes to treating children as a commodity. It is a "shock value" attempt to get people to re-examine adoptions and society's limits about human value.

I think they are clever albeit stomach -turning and I do have to say that I think the creator(s) must have some very strong feelings about the way we treat children and I, for one, can appreciate their efforts to illicit a reaction from a usually apathetic public.

Sucks that it freaked you out, but that is the point and it made you think didn't it!! Guess it works!

Wow...... I can't imagine that its legit. There is an application form. There's no way in h**l I'd fill it out and give them my credit card number. I'd probably have CPS knocking on my door. lol I must say that I am very curious if its legit or not. People can't really be doing this!! Surely its not legal! It claims to be a form of "adoption" though. I don't know. Its crazy, that's for sure.

After reading through it I'm tempted to believe that it's just a spoof.  Just something about the way it's written.  (I didn't say it was in good taste).

Also, the three little "marshmallow men" used in their logo appear to be the same ones I've seen on a number of microsoft sites.

I did a "whois" on the site and found that it was created in Feb 08 and is registered to a guy in Atlanta who also runs a website called www.puppyprofits.com which promotes dog fighting for profit.

Just seems to me that someone has a sick sense of humour and too much time on their hands.  Here is the info from whois:

Sickly amusing. Done in poor taste, but entertaining... on a sick level that is.
