The ethicality of child-finding in third world countries for the purpose of adoption.
Because of a scarcity of adoptable infants in the United States, adoption agencies are looking overseas for children. In their efforts at finding overseas "sources" they sometimes become associated with persons who see intercountry adoption as a means of easy financial gain. The author's commentary questions the behavior of U.S.-based adoption programs in forming these associations as well as the system which weighs the interests of North American adoptive parents against those of impoverished, Third World birthmothers.
