Internet Babies
I'm suprised this topic has not come up yet...
What do you ladies think of the controversy the babies that were recently sold over the internet. In case you haven't heard, here is the run-down:
1. African American woman is pregnant with twins and decides to use a 'baby broker' to put her children up for adoption.
2. A interracial couple in California adopted the children. There was a (I think) $6,000 'fee' for the adoption.
3. The mother came back in the picture and 'tricked' the couple into giving her the babies because another couple (white) in Great Britian agreed to pay a higher 'fee'.
4. The couple in Cali feels like their children were stolen. The gov't in GB has taken the children into protective custody. The mother is also saying that she wants the children back.
What do you think about this? Who deserves the babies? Do you think the 'finders fee' that the broker changed is really a way to sell the babies to the highest bidder?
