The Child Exchange AKA You Can Trade Your Adopted Child With Only A Short Legal Document, Positing O

[Jeep-Eep]

[quote]KIEL, Wisconsin – Todd and Melissa Puchalla struggled for more than two years to raise Quita, the troubled teenager they'd adopted from Liberia. When they decided to give her up, they found new parents to take her in less than two days – by posting an ad on the Internet...

.... The failure to keep track of what happens after children are brought to America troubles some foreign governments. So do instances of neglect or abuse that become known. Often cited is the case of the Tennessee woman who returned a 7-year-old boy she adopted from a Russian orphanage. The woman had cared for him only six months when she put the boy on a flight to Moscow in April 2010. He was accompanied by a typed letter that read in part, "I no longer wish to parent this child."

Late last year, Russia banned adoptions by Americans amid a broader diplomatic dispute. Other nations, including Guatemala and China, have also made the process more difficult. As a result, the number of foreign-born children adopted into the United States has declined from a peak of almost 23,000 in 2004 to fewer than 10,000 a year today.

Why do you adopt a troubled teenager, from anywhere, if you are not prepared to deal with it? I suspect these adoptive parents didn't have these kids' best interests at heart from the beginning. They treat it like taking in a stray pet rather than becoming a parent.

I am going to assume the use of the first "it" wasn't intended..

I think the "it" could be referring to the problems associated with raising them, rather than the children themselves.

Looking for shiny children. I'll trade my level 100 David for your shiny.

[QUOTE]A young boy who suffered from mental illness told his counselor that Calvin had touched him improperly while bathing the boy. The boy's mother didn't believe the allegation, according to a report by North Charleston police, and no charges were brought. The boy's mother couldn't be reached for comment.

When Reuters first visited the Easons, Calvin wore a sleeveless maroon T-shirt with the words GOOD DADS MAKE A DIFFERENCE. He said he never improperly touched the boy he had babysat, and added: [B]"I've got kids of my own I could already do that to. So why would I even try to do that to another child?"[/B][/QUOTE]

Good point, it just seemed a bit funny in the context.

I actually think this is kind of an interesting idea in some respects; we could make more use of the current "human surplus problem" by having Western couples adopt children from high-population/overpopulated countries like Russia, China, India, and other places. If anything it'd alleviate the need to overpopulate and in some respects broaden the gene pool to prevent stagnation.
