Babies for sale in Ethiopia

(25.08.2011, Prepared for publication by: Lisa Karpova, pravda)--Has anyone ever asked movie star Angelina Jolie how much she paid for the Ethiopian baby she adopted? Or should I say how much she "donated," most of which ended up in the hands of the national crime syndicate known as the Government of Ethiopia.

For several years now just about anyone has been able to buy a baby in Ethiopia, you know what I mean, "adopt"? It costs about $30,000. Cash. Some reports say over 3,000 are sold...adopted, every year.

It has turned into a major cash flow for the Godfathers of the Ethiopian "government". Do the math, 3,000 X $30,000 X 5 years = almost a half a billion dollars, requiring more and more London bank accounts to be set up to be stuffed chock full of some very sick money.

When you buy...adopt, a baby in Ethiopia there is a good chance that the baby isn't an orphan, though it is usually standard language in all the deeds of sale/adoption papers that such is the case. With millions of Ethiopians once again famine stricken, selling babies has become a way to survive.

Though of the $30,000 as little as $1,000 makes it through the hands of the Ethiopian mafia to the babies' families.

If one has been reading the pages of this and other websites willing to publish what is really going on in Ethiopia, you will know that Ethiopia is committing genocide by enforcing a food aid blockade against the ethnic Somalis in the Ethiopian Ogaden during the worst drought in 60 years. So why should selling babies come as a shock? Read more the full story at Pravda »

I would not be as naive to think there are not some illegal activities surrounding adoption of children from Ethiopia, but you are ill-informed of the process. #1) Ethiopian Government does not receive all the fees. #2) The children in orphanages who are there for transitional care, are not adoptable - US Embassy does not allow it. #3) Adoption money does not go to families - since that, in affect, would encourage people to sell their babies - I am not sure where you get $1,000 going to families - this is illegal.

Also, many families who adopt children do so with such open hearts. My family being one of those. We have met the birth mom. In her words, we did not take her child, but she entrusted the care of her children to us. This is hardly stealing/buying a child.

It would be the best if the crisis in Ethiopia did not create such conditions where families have to choose the life (adoption) and death (starvation) of their children.

I don't understand it, Ethiopian's babies are becoming like an auction now, it is disgusting and Ethiopians are happy about it? I am outraged by this story as anyone else but we must not use this as an excuse to stop other races from adopting Ethiopian children. Perhaps I’m overly impressed, but I prefer the benefit of the doubt when possible.

THANKS TO THE TIGRAYAN SUPRAMACY (TPLF) MORE AND MORE INNOCENT ETHIOPIAN CHILDREN AND BABIES ARE BEING SOLD TO FOREIGNERS ABROAD WHO IN TURN USE THEM AS A SACRIFICE TO THEIR INNER DEMON.
