black-market adoption

Read a random definition: shortening time

A quick definition of black-market adoption:

Black-market adoption is when someone illegally buys or sells a baby or child. This means that the child is taken away from their real family and given to someone else without going through the proper legal process. This is very wrong and can be dangerous for the child. Adoption is when someone legally becomes the parent of a child who is not biologically related to them. This is done through a court process and is meant to give the child a safe and loving home. Black-market adoption is not the same as legal adoption and should never be done.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Black-market adoption refers to the illegal buying and selling of children for adoption. It involves individuals or organizations who operate outside of legal adoption channels and often exploit vulnerable birth parents and adoptive families.

For example, a couple may pay a large sum of money to an intermediary who promises to arrange an adoption with a birth mother. However, the intermediary may not have legal authority to facilitate adoptions, and the birth mother may not have given informed consent or may have been coerced into giving up her child.

Black-market adoption is a serious crime that can have devastating consequences for all involved. It can result in the separation of families, emotional trauma, and legal repercussions for those involved.
