Yesterday I watched a news outbreak regarding illegal adoptions in Spain. There individuals recounted on how they did not know they were adopted until it was revealed to them, sometimes at the death beds of one adoptive parent.
Here I will relate what I heard over tea many years ago. A friend heard from a contact that the latter bought a baby which came with a legitimate birth certificate. It all started with the contact's business associate giving his phone number to a marketing person of a baby for sale ring. This marketing man called and gave a meeting place and a meeting time. It was quite a public place during a quiet lull. The prospective parents drove to the meeting place, shortly after a dark vehicle with tinted windows drew along side. Two car doors opened, the marketing man came out first, then a middle age nanny came out with an infant. The infant was passed from the arms of the nanny to the prospective mum who was still seated in her car. The confident and suave marketing man said there is a try out period of three days, if not the infant could be returned. Time and place to be arranged.
And so this couple played mum and dad for three days. At the end of the try out period, they decided to pay for the infant as all medical tests came out clean. An appointment was made, they met in a rather quiet restaurant during off peak hours. The new father found out that his infant was the product of paid (willing) teenager from a hill tribe in a rural area and from a healthy man free of Aids. There was no trauma, no violence, and the expectant mother was given nutritious food and good care in a conducive environment. A great deal of cash exchanged hand and the deal was completed.
In such cases, the adopted child will never find its natural parents. It is just as well that the biological parents are from different races than that of the adoptive parents. Hopefully then the chances of such a child eventually marrying children of its biological parents would be slim.
