My sister in law adopted a child from Guatamala who was only 2 years old at the time. His parents had literally sold him to the adoption agency. They already had a few other kids but could not afford to raise this child
He was one of the more fortunate kids to be sold. I can only imagine how many children have been sold off as sex slaves or worse.
My sister and her husband have raised him into a fine young man who only recently finished trade school to become an electrician.

I admire those who adopt and care for children as you describe. I have family that adopted as well.
But the practice of purchasing children nevertheless has ... issues.
