Would You Consider Selling Your Baby?.. email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (852)   ranked 178 out of 2,674 in children1 year ago

Some women here in my country, did consider selling their kids, (It's in the news)..They always say that because they are so poor and doesn't have money to feed the child, they opted to sell. They also say that, rather than the kid die of starvation or just end up in a dumpster, better to sell (not give) to those who cannot have children and at least the kid's life will be better..And there are those, intentionally get pregnant so they can sell the baby to the highest bidder..

Why get pregnant if you know that you're so poor and cannot afford another mouth to feed? Why do some women can still live their normal lives, after selling their babies?

Would you do it, if you are given the same circumstances?

For a mother, I am sure it's going to be the toughest decision to make. I haven't been to this kind of situation where I am in the point of selling my child. I hope I don't get there, no way. I feel sorry for those who have had. I believe they didn't have any other choice but to sell. Surely, the child would be better off in the hands of other people than to die of malnutrition.

all of us doesn't wanna go through situations like that..it's a pity some would make those decisions, but of course most of them must have felt they don't have any choice....thanks, inday..

If i am given the same circumstances, i won't do that. I think poverty is just their excuse. They use this to explain their unreasonable and immoral deal. I don't think it's really so difficult to feed a kid.maybe they cannot afford the kid's schooling fee. indeed, feeding a kid is not so difficult and they definitly can do it! They just use poverty as their excuse to cover their immoral deal!!!! just like what you mentioned about, if they are able to feed their kids, why do they still get pregnant?? It's so terrible for them to doing so.


myLot reputation of 94/100. arlene05kang (169)   ranked 2,136 out of 2,674 in children  1 year ago

landi927's right. Poverty is not a reason to do this act. Be responsible. Wether you planned or not to have a baby, but it's your own flesh. Try to put your feet into their shoes. Would you like your mother to do that to you?


myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (852)   ranked 178 out of 2,674 in children  1 year ago

You also have a point there..Poverty is not an excuse..I just wonder sometimes, they know they have no money, they know they already have lots of kids to feed and take care,but why get pregnant again? Why not try family planning or contraceptives..We have free clinics, why dont they go there and be informed on how to's in family planning. Although some would say that, it's against the law of God, but that's why God gave us brains to think..I remembered this joke,
"because they don't have television or other recreational activities, so the only past time is to copulate"..Just a Joke, my friends..
thanks to both of you for voicing out your opinions..

Selling children is not allowed in my home country. If it was I would buy a daughter and give her a happy life within my loving family. There are laws to protect children meaning that many checks are done to those wishing to adopt a child. In the 1960s one of my mum's friends found that her husband was infertile. So they adopted a girl and then a couple of years later a boy. These days abortion is legal in my home country so there are few babies to adopt but there are older children.

I think that it would be terrible for a lady to have a baby then let him or her die from starvation. To give to a caring family would give the baby a chance of a happy life. However giving him or her to the highest bidder would be wrong. The person might be horrible but have loads of money. A compatible family should be found or help from friends should be given so the baby can be kept. I think that dog and cat breeders sell puppies and kittens for money but I think that it is awful for ladies to sell their babies. I would never sell my baby.

It's illegal too in my country but you would be shocked if you knew how many are caught and landed their story in the news..It's better if they will just give it to a childless couple than sell it..Babies are priceless therefor cannot be justified by any amount of money..thanks for your response.. happy

myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (852)   ranked 178 out of 2,674 in children  1 year ago

hey there, whatever reasons there may be, an early teenage or unplanned pregnancy, it's still not the way to give up your kid..give the baby up but not in exchange for an amount..thanks and welcome to Mylot..

I wouldnt sell them no, id give them to someone who could support them properly if I couldnt do it but I wouldnt sell them no it would be like selling my soul.

Those who intentionally get pregnant to sell their babies are not mothers they dont deserve the right to have a baby


myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (852)   ranked 178 out of 2,674 in children  1 year ago

you betcha!! There was a movie about a surrogate mother who in the end couldn't give up the baby, simply because she has come to love the baby inside her..and couldn't give to the waiting couple even if they increased the price..thanks kezabelle..

Lord i would always keep my baby no matter what . I want kids now but now I cant provide for them just yet.
You would have to be crazy to think selling a baby would not haunt you, or just think of what that poor child would carry with him.


myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (852)   ranked 178 out of 2,674 in children  1 year ago

Pray that God will give you kids when you are truly ready.. You're right, sooner or later their conscience will haunt them..thanks..

Never, would I consider selling my baby. No matter how poor I was there is no way. I would feel so bad and worrie if they are ok. There is help you can get if you need to feed your baby. I just would'nt have the heart to sell my pride and joy.


myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (852)   ranked 178 out of 2,674 in children  1 year ago

Yes, there are ways to keep the baby, even if you have many others..They just have to work much harder to give them a good if not better life.. thanks..

Very sad that in this day and age, people are driven to such extreme measures to survive in poverty stricken areas.
I believe they are acting mostly in desperation and mean well for their children. It is I am sure a very difficult position to be in and a difficult decision for any mother to make especially as there's the bond that forms through pregnancy and birth for the child and they are desperate for help, like you said the children need to survive.
It's not the right thing to do but one just needs to hope that these innocent children are indeed going to good families.
Worrying when you talk about selling and there's buying..


myLot reputation of 93/100. marina321 (1936)   ranked 56 out of 2,674 in children  1 year ago

NO,I would never consider it!


myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (852)   ranked 178 out of 2,674 in children  1 year ago

It is indeed happening in many places here..I do pray though that those kids will have a good life.. thanks, marina..

There are people with a weird notion that it is ok to sell their babies just like a business. I don't think this is a good thing at all. I don't approve of selling my baby at all.


myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (852)   ranked 178 out of 2,674 in children  1 year ago

Some had no choice but to sell but there are others who doesn't care if it's their flesh and blood..Money talks sometimes..But I do get you..Thanks amadeo..Welcome to Mylot..
