American Babies Exported for Adoption

There is no shame in treating babies like any other purchase in America (Diablo 3 Gold), where the adoption industry is largely privatised and run by firms that promise to bring together pregnant women and adoptive families, deal with all the legal niceties and ensure there are no hitches along the way….

There are certain American websites currently offering mouth-watering incentives to would-be buyers. "Delivery within four months", "Discounts of up to $19,000″, they proclaim.

If it were cars they were selling this would not seem odd, but it's babies that are for sale – bright, smiling newborns to tempt the childless into parting with about 20,000.

Right now, there is something of an ongoing sales push: November is National Adoption Awareness Month (Diablo 3 Gold), which aims to get more Americans to choose adoption, both as buyers and as sellers. The rash of Hollywood stars who adopt has reduced what little social stigma was attached to adoption.

This is how we are viewed from across the pond: a nation that allows children to be treated like automobiles, caring mothers treated as commercial surrogates, all in a culture that makes it easy and attractive for anyone who can afford a current price tag averaging $40,000, to come here and obtain one of our children (Diablo 3 Gold). As far as fears that the mother might rescind her decision, Jardine assures readers that American agencies do everything short of offering "a money-back guarantee."
