are you willing to sell your baby for a price?

amrddy neither one really, she is after the money and is a cold, heartless woman to sell her own flesh and blood for money, why not if she cannot care for the baby take it to the nearest fire station or hospital as they will find people to adopt the baby. Of course I am in the US so you may be some place else but take the baby to the police, anyone will find the proper authorities to adopt the baby out. Selling a child is wrong and against the law as well as being morally wrong. I believe you will find this true in almost any country in the world.

That is truly sad. There are parents who can't even have a child of their own and here we see a story of a mother giving away her own child. I've read some of the responses from our fellow mylotters and most of them are disgusted. But you are asking if the mother is selling the baby for a new lease in life or is she just scared of responsibilities. Let me tell you about the the things I've seen. There are mothers who opted for adoption even before they give birth because, as you said, for their babies to have a "new life." There are parents who give away their children because they haven't fulfilled their dreams yet. There are those who had a traumatic experience bearing this child that they can't even allow themselves to enjoy motherhood. But worse, there are mothers who just decide to abort their babies. I've lived in the province for ten years running our family's resort. Our security guard has eleven children and running. I asked the wife(she does part time jobs with me), why doesn't she just do ligation or take contraceptives. She said her husband doesn't believe in those things but he can't abstain either. They have a twenty two year old son who didn't even finished elementary. Sometimes, I get frustrated, but who am I to judge? There are a lot of reasons why mothers do this. Don't get me wrong. I am not condoning this thing. I, myself, believe it is wrong. I wouldn't do it. But it is wrong to be judgemental too. I would always think that I was born in a better circumstance than them to allow myself not to judge.

Now matter how needy you are, as a mother, you will never ever be prepared to sell your baby. The woman who is doing that is probably mentally sick or there is something wrong with her emotions. Because no mother in the world can sell her baby. But there are conditions in which one becomes so poor that she has to do that. May Allah help that lady! I don't know why would she do that.

Regardless of the reason, a life should not be sold for any other price. That is unethical. Besides, why create a life when you don't have the means to do so. That is very irresponsible.

I'm sorry to say, but, I hate moms selling their child like a pet. They are irresponsible parents. Hope, someday, they will not regret in doing this to their child.

What kind of mother is that?. I have a child too and I loved him and treasured him the most. I could not even live a single day without seeing, touching, and kissing my baby. Even if I don't have the riches in the world to offer to my child, I will never sold him to anybody. Our children is our treasure and that's all mother should be.

I can't believe someone would actually sell their baby. That goes beyond desperate. It's sick. I think the mother simply wants the money. There are plenty of other ways to earn a living but to sell an innocent baby is pitiful. I have three, grown daughters and there is no way in hell I would have ever sold those girls. They mean the world to me. They are my life.

I don't know the reason why the mother is selling her baby but I think because she doesn't have any money to take care of her new born. I'm a mother too and striving hard to give everything my child needs. I'm still a student and after giving birth my mother my asking me to give my baby to them. No! I wouldn't want that. That mother may not want responsibility but we don't know if that child is unwanted that's why she's selling it.

People who are pro-abortion will argue that she has every right to do this. She is simply getting rid of a child she doesn't want. What's the point in aborting when there is money to be made? At least the baby is still alive.

Of course not. I sometimes joke to my children about selling them on Ebay, I actually ask for the permission and they always say "No" and "I love you daddy" which is very cute but realistically I would never do it. Someone could offer me a million pounds and I still wouldn't sell them. I think if you have children it needs to be for the right reason and not to make profit from it, is selling them really worth it? I find it very disturbing that people do this and they have no right to call themselves parents.

In my country that is against the law, to sell your child. She would be put in jail here for doing that and the baby would be taken away from her and put into foster care. Nobody can just sell their baby in Canada or in North America. If the mother just wanted a new life for her baby then she should give it up to the authorities and not sell it. She obviously just wants the money and that makes her the wrong person to raise this child in the first place. Someone should call the authorities on her and have her child taken away because she isn't a good mother and that poor child is going to suffer in the long run. This is just my opinion. Have a good day, your friend Chris

My guess would be the mother wants a better life for her child. Like after the earth quake in Hati mothers were trying to give their children for adoption. Being a mother thats my guess.

Who knows. I'm thankful she didn't abort the baby.

EWW No! She obviously doesn't care about the child because if she did, she would have asked for help in raising the baby, not sell the baby. Better yet, she would try to get a job. Any job so that she can raise her child. Subconsciously she doesn't want the responsibility if she's looking for someone to buy her child. She wants the money (she obviously needs it) and doesn't mind about her morality. If she can't handle the responsibility, at least ask help from the government (DSWD should help somehow, after all they don't want to be called up on by authorities like Bantay Bata) Thing is, if she didn't want to have a baby, she should at least have used contraceptives. That's very cruel, and improper. Someone should suggest that she get a job, or turn to the government for help. Or the church.

Never! It is a categorical answer that never will I sell a baby , whether it's mine or not. I always wanted to have a big family with many children but I was blessed with one child only. I would rather adopt a child.

She can go to a place were they take babies for adoption or look for an adoption lawyer. Also most churches will take and place the baby in an adoptive home. There are millions of families who want a child and can't have one. They will happily take her baby and give it a loving home.

I have no idea whether there is something mentally wrong with this woman but for a mother to give birth and to attempt to sell the child is cruel and heartless! I would give my life for my child and I miss her when she is not with me, there is no way on this earth that I would allow anyone else to raise her unless I was incapable of taking care of her for some reason, like illness or something equally serious; it would have to be someone I know and trust and no I would not dream of selling her like an object!

In my case, I will never sell my baby. I will try to be a good mother like how my mother nurture me. However for families who are suffering from nothingness, I can't blame the parents who wanted to give a brighter future for their child by means of giving him/her to rich but childless couple. For me, this is understandable but SELLING is another story. Selling is different from giving willingly. Selling implies that for the couple their child is like a dog or goods that can be sold in the market. This is an act of a demon not a human.

I really don't know WHY, there are some Moms who can sell their children!I don't know really the reason behind. It's so sad to hear this but It's really happening especially with the third world country. There are many reasons that I can think: maybe because of poverty, maybe the mother is financially unstable, or the mother doesn't like to take care of the baby, or maybe the mother thinks that her baby will not have a good future to her and so on and so forth..... Sigh... It's really very sad to hear news like this. But they have their own reasons and I know that moms know the consequences of their actions. They will pay for this! Maybe not this time but there will be.

most likely this "transaction" happened in poor countries. it also happen in developing countries. anyway, this ethic is source of desperation for in need of financial funds to raise the ones which are in bear.
