Anyone else disturbed by this website?

adoptionplan.com/forum/index.php

I knew they were out there, but just came across this one. The listing of a baby, followed by a price. Seems to be almost everything that is wrong with adoption spelled right out.
Additional Details
ETA: Just feeling physically ill.
How will these people look this child in the face and say "we found you on a website, listed in the 'situations under $15000' section?"
How does anyone think this is the right thing to do?

I cannot even begin to describe my horror and disappointment at the human race.

Is this even legal? I found a baby listed for $42,000. WTH... But it was nice of them to offer their bargain rack for baby's going for under $15,000 for those families that can't afford the top of the line baby's. {Sarcasm}

I am so upset over this. I feel like contacting all these agencies and telling them how I feel, but I'm afraid they won't even care.

ETA: Did anyone notice that there are multiple postings from most of the posters? It didn't look like the actual mom's placing these adds but the agencies. I bet most if not all the mom's even know they are doing this.

OMG. There was one woman on there who had a one night stand and was selling her baby for 34k!!! This was the fourth baby she had put up fo adoption and the father was a one night stand. Seems like she is in the business of doing it and doing it to make money! My god, I feel sick. There should be laws or something against this.

i don't understand why anybody wouldn't be disturbed by this website. i mean its one thing to sell an animal. but thats a child.... just ridiculous... and the people who buy the children are just enabling that kind of thing to continue. ridiculous.

I raise my hand up!! I think that is very distrubing. It's almost like ebay for buying babies! Disgusting. If people go about adopting in this way, then they shouldn't be surprised if they get scammed or run across problems!

That is absolutely atrocious! How can that be legal?


HappyMomAnna
YUCK!!! This should be a crime if it is not... This seems like the most shameful example of humankind that I think I have seen in a long time... The only positive thing I can see is that these children will not be kept by someone who saw them as a cash-cow....

I can't imagine being an adoptive parent that would lose all sense of morality and come to some point in time where this seemed like a good thing to do....

These poor little babies!

....on a side note there was recent conversation about profiles and internet sites with older--waiting--special needs foster children... To me there is a huge difference between reminding the public about the kids waiting and marketing infants on an ebay style format......

Omg that's so disgusting. I actually feel sick.. :(


Freckle Face
Maddening and sickening all at once. I have never seen anything like this before. How low can humanity go?


Rachel
OMG. thats sick. it's like they are actioning off these poor kids with no parents. its so sad


Warrior Mom
How is this done? HOW???? How do they get away with this? It HAS to be illegal.

i have seen these web sites... this is just wrong....


Santa's Lil' Helper
Holy Moly......it's like ebay for babies.

I feel dirty...yuck!

It's ironic that organizations like PETA fight close down puppy mills but nobody cares about something like this.....it's disgraceful! Apparently it is still legal to buy and sell human beings in the United States. Oh God this make me so utterly sad.

Why is it okay to turn a blind eye to this???? What is law enforcement doing about situations like this?


oopsydaisy
That is just a vile and sick website. I just keep getting visions of the bargin corner. Not nice, not professional and most importantly........not in the childs best interests. Poor little love. :(


janine k
Any woman who could be so heartless as to put money before their child and so coldheartedly get pregnant for the express purpose of selling their child should be made permanently sterile .It makes me sick to think of the types of people who would actually buy these babies and think of them in monetary value and not as a person in their own right.What more can be said.


Leah G
sometimes I think that's all we adoptees were to the adults involved...a gucci bag or Prada shoes...something to complete the pretty little picture. don't get me started!

That is really really really really really.....wrong. They look like trade-me or ebay adds. that is really horrible!!! they even have the "race" of the child. God almighty have we gone back in time or something. They are selling these children like second hand cars.

very disturbing. I wonder how all this is going to affect those children later when they find out about being sold!!
No, it's not legal at all. Kid's aren't born with a price tag affixed to their toe and the fact people could look at a baby and say "I love you $$ worth to give you away" like they would sell a used car is completely nauseating!
