My understanding of the black market for international adoption that takes place in many Latin American countries is that the high demand for adoptive babies creates a sick practice of either tearing the child from the mother and selling it to internationally adoptive parents or the mother herself chooses to increase her profit margin by selling her own child. <br /><br />The sad thing is that many internationally adoptive parents have no idea that they are facilitating in what sometimes results in tearing apart a family. I encountered once such family who had adopted internationally and later found out that the baby adopted had been stolen from her original family. It was not within the best interests of the child to tear her away from her original family when they did not choose to give up adoption. However, once she had been living in America for a while it was also not in her best interest to go back to the poor third world country she came from. It was a horrifying discovery; the family is placed in a situation where they need to figure out how to remedy the wrong that was done although it was no fault of their own. In fact, the intentions are good, but if a country can establish a foundation and framework as demanded by the Hague convention, then it is less likely that such horrible break ups of the family will occur.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411527934298166682noreply@blogger.com
