A 1.4 billion dollar industry in which American couples buy a baby from a third world country for $10,000 to $50,000 USD. There is a strong correlation between the price of the baby and the race of the baby.

During the selection process, every attempt is made to purchase a non-defective human.

Significant portions of the transaction wind up lining the pockets of corrupt third world government officials and shady the non-profit orgagizations involved in connecting the buyers of babies with the sellers of babies.
Angelina Jolie recently paid a lot of money in a shady Tijuana adoption transaction and she wound up getting ripped off.

A less painful, more humane alternative to abortion (for the baby, that is). Recent studies show that abortion actually IS painful to the fetus being aborted. Therefore, in order to avoid having a baby, one should do one of the following:

1. Let yourself give birth to the baby, then simply put it up for adoption.

2. Make it easy for yourself simply by not fucking your boyfriend until you're ready to support a child and have a new husband. 10/1 chances your so-called "lover" will want nothing to do with you after he finds out the news.
Rachael may have been dumb enough to fuck that asswipe, but at least she's giving her unwanted baby a chance by putting it up for adoption instead of aborting.
