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.
