7. The "demand" for "completing our family" seems to be driving the "supply" of children

Nations who are corrupt and/or have not signed on the the Geneva Convention's 'Rights of a Child' see nothing but $$ signs when it comes to impoverished family's young children. When you hear about someone trying to "ease the restrictions on adoptions", what they want is the ability for "black market babies" to be able to be washed with the stamp of legitimacy from the government of a "legal" adoption.

I can not begin to understand how progressives are not up in arms over this clear exploitation of poor families to big moneyed interest. Argh!

Thank you for caring, thank you for posting.
