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

myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (854)   ranked 181 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?

I would not do it. It's a pain for a mother to do that. Therefore it is also illegal to do it here. Even though I don't have money but baby is much more important to have. I can earn money that I have lost but I cannot gain the life of a baby once the baby is given out to someone else.

hi there..unfortunately not all countries have "Safe Haven's"..Like here in the Philippines, we do have Social Services and Government Agencies which takes care of mothers who cannot afford their pregnancies and are candidates for eventually abandoning their babies but most belong to the lower,lower class and are not well educated when it comes to family planning and contraceptives.. And there are a few who literally gets pregnant so they can sell their offsprings..But your point is well taken and i honestly admire you for saving yourself until the time you thought you can take care of your own..thanks... thumbup

No matter what the circumstance, it's wrong to sell another life.
They sell the baby to get money, Why not sell something else? If they believe the child will have a better life with someone else, they should just give the child to that person.
Would you like it if your child has grown up, only to find out that he/she was bought? That child would feel terrible. A child is not an item to be sold, why not give the new parents, if one can't afford to bring up the child.
A mother must also think about the emotional well being of the child, in the long run, once the child is told such information.
I could never go on living life as normal, I would alway wonder if he/she is being well taken care of. Some people adopt children and abuse them, treat them like slaves. Selling my baby will be a big chance to take.
Beside the government put measures in place where children are taken care of, they help the parent provide for the child.
I would never sell my baby.


myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (854)   ranked 181 out of 2,712 in children  2 years ago

thanks for your insight jessie!! It's true that most us would rather give up the baby to have a better life..But, those women who sells them simply doesn't have the heart and conscience..keep on posting.. happy

People may sell their own baby, I think that the major reason must be they want a boy, while government no allow them give too many birth-baby, then they have to abandon their bady or sell out. Some may because of too poor to raise many. After all, I disagree to abandon/sell ourselves baby, nowadays, boy and girl has the same rights and same important role in the world, so whatever we have a boy or girl,there is no reason to put them away, and if no enough money to raise many children, then why can't we just have 1 or 2. I think, one or two kids for me it's enough, and I will never sell them....


myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (854)   ranked 181 out of 2,712 in children  2 years ago

hey doris..for a while there, I thought, it's okay for you to sell..But after reading your whole message, I get your point..thanks for responding..I haven't welcomed you yet, so welcome to Mylot.. happy

hey eihdra. This is a very hard question to think about. I know personally it wouldn't matter what the situation was I could NEVER sell my children. I agree that if they knew they could not make ends meet they should not have gotten pregnant. If I was so poor I would not be having babies. I love my children way to much to ever think about giving them away, thats crazy. When you are a parent you do WHATEVER it takes to make sure that those children have what they need. There is no easy way out just give up your child and you get to keep the money and live better?...thats selfish!


myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (854)   ranked 181 out of 2,712 in children  2 years ago

I agree with you too..and what matters most is if you thihappynk you can't handle it, then don't do it.. thanks..

Of course, I wont do it if I have a baby. It's terrible to sell one's own child. So brutal. I hope all of the mothers in the world love their children in any circumstance.

No i rather not! Before having a baby i will make sure that I'm ready for it so that the child won't feel unwanted. Those people don't really have to sell their babies, they had made it and they must try to face and keep the baby. Selling them is unethical for me, making money out of their baby is not good.

The very idea that people would place monetary value on any human life is shameful, eihdra, but it is a practice that has occurred throughout history. It is even more shameful when the ones who benefit from such transactions are the parents. I suppose it all is about conscience; some people have no conscience. I could never do anything like that because I would always wonder what type of circumstances I had sold my child into.


myLot reputation of 96/100. eihdra (854)   ranked 181 out of 2,712 in children  2 years ago

yeah, i know..we may never know if they are loved by those who got her/him.. or if they are being treated well, fed well and so on..thanks.. happy

Children are precious,there is no where in my life I would ever etertain that in my mind. A mother carries a baby in her wound for nine long 9 months most of the time. There is a special bond between mother and child, so to think of selling your baby, you would not be doing the right thing. Some people cant even concieve and others have such a difficult time concieving. It would be better to gave the baby up for adoption so it can be better cared for in the proper way.
