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

myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (854)   ranked 182 out of 2,712 in children2 years 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?

No, I would never even think of selling my child. If I was poor I would just as soon not have a child, although I am aware that some are not planned. I can understand selling the baby but only if the parents want to test to see if the people they are giving it to will be able to support the child.

I don't like hearing things like this, it breaks my heart to hear of women selling their children.

It definitely breaks my heart too. I just wish that these women will think many times before they decide.. thanks..

I will never sell my baby even if I am hardcore poor!! Baby is a gift from the God and we cannot buy baby from the shop like we buy a doll. I really disrespect people who sell baby for their interest.


myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (854)   ranked 182 out of 2,712 in children  2 years ago

Babies are truly gifts from God..!! Somehow, those who sell doesn't care..thanks..Welcome to Mylot!

Yes....I agree with u. Today people know how to make kids successfully and unfortunately do not know how to take care the kids.

Selling their kids is wrong.kids are innocent.Just imagine the loss of biological mother is what the kid look like? I look down on those who sell their kids mother. Poverty is not the child's responsibility.

It's true, parent's should provide whatever they can..thanks echo and welcome too..

Nope. It's not in my personal values to just sell a baby beacuse I don't have a money.

I have to look for other ways to have some money but selling my baby is a NO NO.


myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (854)   ranked 182 out of 2,712 in children  2 years ago

Some people just ain't like us, against selling. But it does happen..Just hope they'll come up with plans other than sell their baby.. thanks..

I know I could never do this. I do not know what it is like for them, I have never been in their situation. I just know that I would do whatever I had to, to keep mine.

Babies are a gift from god. There are a few women who cannot have kids and long for one. It seems unfair that they can't have children while other women who have children sell them. I think that whatever the circumstances you shouldn't sell your child. I know I wouldn't. It's my child and I nurtured it in my womb for 9 months and gave birth to it. That makes the child important and special. If I am very poor I don't know where to get money to feed my child I won't use this as an excuse. I was poor before the baby and still decided to have one. It is then my responsibility to do everything I can to feed my baby. Selling the baby seems to be the easy way out.


myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (854)   ranked 182 out of 2,712 in children  2 years ago

I know what you mean..that's exactly what I said when I saw the news..It's a shame that they sell their babies and somewhere out there a woman who longs for a child mourns.. Thanks for your insight..

I do not thing that amother can do such a work.If they are so poor then it is not neccessary to give birth to them.In my thinking no mother can live normal after selling their babies.''Mother is the second name of god''this shoud be think while doing such an act.


myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (854)   ranked 182 out of 2,712 in children  2 years ago

I agree with what you said.. no mother will live peacefully and not bothered by her conscience eventually..Thanks and welcome to Mylot..

if i don't have enough to feed my children then i wouldn't sell them but instead have them cared for some people i know and wont ask money...having them adopted is different from selling them..its more understandable..i don't get people's mind of why they wont take contraceptives so that they wont get pregnant..your right if they cant afford another child then they must do something to prevent getting pregnant..there are just people who can bear it and live normal..this people are the people who are used of doing it and had exchange their children for a penny..i feel so sad about this


myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (854)   ranked 182 out of 2,712 in children  2 years ago

We may never know the reason why they don't use contraceptives but still they shouldn't sell..I, too, think that rather than selling,just give it to people whom you know will love your kid and will be better off with them.. thanks..
