As an adoption child from China, this gives me shivers. One of my biggest fears is to get kidnapped, to get put into human trafficking circumstances, to be sold as a human slave and to live years and years in someone's basement with no food, water or freedom. I honestly reflected so much on it since childhood. About the fact that it could have gone REALLY wrong if I was adopted by the wrong people. Or that my parents sold me to "parents" who were actually the face of a trafficking corporation. Luckely I've gone to a good family through legal adoption, who have given me so many opportunities. They couldn't get kids themselves so they resorted to taking care of 2 adoption kids and 1 foster kid. I owe them so much. PS: I don't know my birth parents. My adoption mom told me that the adoption agency told her that they found me under a bridge. And that someone took me to a home. I don't know if that is true though, because they could have made something up. What I do know is that there was a one child policy in China at that time. In the end, I am thankful for getting adopted legally and safely.

It really makes me upset when women ask to get their tubes tied and they are told. They are too young or can still have children. Let the woman make the decision. Especially if she is in severe poverty

This is what happens when you make contraceptives basically impossible to access. They better fix this fast before they see having kids = making money.

The ligation issue happens here as well. My Dr tried to deny me too when I was 32. Said I might meet my "Mr Right" and want to have a baby. It wasn't until I told him that I had a genetic disorder that he agreed to do the tubal ligation.

My cousin was openly jealous that most of our family had kids. He was single and gay, so he decided pay a poor woman to get pregnant (didn't care how) and he "bought" the child from her. He bribed the local hospital to help forge the birth certificate so the birth father was him and the mother was his friend. It's horrific when he proudly told me how he got his daughter and I never spoke to him ever again. The poor kid is already four and could barely speak and socialize with other kids. She could only babble and hit other kids or roughly take their toys away. She also isn't potty trained yet or enrolled in a proper pre-school. I could tell something was not right, her care and development is severely lacking. But because her purpose was to be flaunted online, no one questions the photos of a child in fancy clothes...... I wish I could tell the authorities on this, I needed to see this kid saved from neglect. But I don't know how, not with this corrupt system in our country that made her situation real in the first place.

@shishi6799

Birth simulation (the forging that happened here) is illegal under the Revised Penal Code and punishable with 6 to 8 years imprisonment. However, the recent RA 11222 complicates things as the government offers amnesty to offenders up to 2029 if they rectify and adminstratively adopt the child subjected to birth simulation. The process of making your cousin liable would have been easier without this amnesty law. Even so, there are provisions in the law for protevtion of children who are abused. In a perfect world, there exist a clear recourse wherein the child can be truly protected. The problem here is that the government itself favors the situation of a child having a parent rather than none. The bar here for neglect is so low that as long as the child is fed and clothed, it could be enough for the authorities to say that the child is in good hands. Especially, absent the evidence that the child is subjected to physical and sexual abuse.

I admit I was wrong to think one-sidedly about marginalized couples, especially the women, not opting for Family Planning. To hear this statement from the doctor who refused to allow the woman to get ligation is beyond comprehension to me. The patient WANTED to stop her pregnancy because of her current circumstance but another authority tells her she might want kids again??? That's messed up! Yes, the reproductive health here in the Philippines is crazy. I went to my LGU's health center last year to express my desire of getting implants. I was denied for it. I would have understand that the implants were free but limited. They said that they'd prioritized other "less fortunate" women. Alright. But the healthcare worker had to add and remark (non verbatim), "Your intention is questionable. You have no children, no partner, not active, yet you want to get one? You'll change your mind soon enough, in less than a year, I bet." I swore I was flaring at her. Told her that there'd be no changing my mind and I know how long the implants had to stay in me. I researched it. I studied it. And I wanted to feel safe. I WANTED SAFETY. The healthcare worker was IMPOSING her ideologies on me. Told me that I should opt for pills and condoms instead. I replied by saying I don't feel safe with the other two options. The last part of this unbelievable interaction was she said that if I began being "active" and have had physical relations, I could come back to "try and get the implants again." WHAT THE HELL????????????????? Tanginang yan.

I believe that mothers should receive donation from families that are adopting their loved ones. I’m so blessed and thankful and would like to help out wherever I could.

The worst thing is that they don’t allow any type of birth control, that is just 1 easy solution to combat this issue.

So damn heart wrenching to know that a child’s life is worth less than of a dog, damn these people that denies these women access to a better life by not letting them do what they want with their bodies.

So, they have a higher chance of being accounted for if their name is isn't enrolled into a school by a certain age or if they hadn't gotten certain medical shots. With an illegally adopted/trafficked child, the country's system isn't able to account for them. Their adoptive "parent" doesn't have to put them in a school or give them their shots. They can keep the child locked up in a basement and no one in that country would know they're "missing" or being "mistreated" because they're not registered. Basically, no one knows they're even there if they were brought over illegally. The legal option at least gives children a higher chance of being noticed (by teachers, doctors, social workers, etc) when it comes to their wellbeing. In that sense, the illegal option is definitely still worse for the child.

Working as an assistant and seeing and hearing some crazy things and I agree and disagree with what you are saying. Legal adoption is essential in place to ensure the safety and well being of the child but with lack of support from family services negates the legal importance of adoption. Plus the adoption process is lenthly and costly and often denies deserving families the ability to adopt for silly and impractical reasons Honestly alot goes into making this subject so complicated and alot of it has to do with the money being passed around behind the scenes.

You're right, but compensation is but a small problem compared to procreation. Wealthy countries are somewhat aware that there are countless adoption-children available, which is why procreating in a wealthy country is somewhat considered senseless and selfish, but the "somewhat" is the real problem. As long as procreating is falsely deemed a human right, when we really don't need to in the slightest, children will end up in horrible situations.

@@DezaRay24 It's not adoption, but the subsequent situation which determines your quality of life. In some situations, adoption is the best thing that could possibly happen to you - that is, when moving from an abusive family to a compassionate family. Sadly that's rare. In other words, for "us adoptees" there's a wide range of experiences as well. Some adoptions go well - the trick is to know which, and why, and say "fuck no" to all bad adoption families and/or bad adoption institutes. The courts should take notice, but probably won't, as they never have. That being said, I do agree most adoptions go poorly, though that's mostly because the religious motivation is in play for many adoptive parents. Gullible parents cannot provide a good home for anyone except themselves.

That was my first thought. Certainly not all of them, but after viewing this video, I now understand where some of the children come from that are used in the sex trafficking trade. Child pornagraphy, Satanic ritual and sacrifice. Earlier in my research I learned that some of the social services and orphanages are run and operated at the top by the global elite. In some of my research some of these orphanages and organizations have ties to Papal Romanism. The amount of evil I have learned that goes on is beyond comprehension and really causes one to lose faith and hope in the goodness of humanity. And it seems to me (as the Bible says) wickedness is only increasing. I have always held to pro choice and personal privacy. Why abortion and other private matters are now in the public sphere for discussion and in the governments hand is a sign of what is to come. Prior to the 20th century all over the world, people took care of their private business privately. And with big global government intervening, nothing got better. Something to contemplate.

Its aboout time the men step up and practice how to prevent babies, they do not seem to be responsible.

No monetary gains for the birth mothers to go the legal way. Yet the adoption agencies and all other legal routes charge "adoption fees" to parents who want to adopt. No baby is free anywhere in the world nor should it be. Yes the process should involve screening people and have standards but agency's shouldn't act like they give kids up to adoption for free. Money has always been involved in the exchange for children one way or another. Not hundreds but thousands of dollars during the exchange. Go look up to adoption especially foreign adoption and it's irrational how much the costs are. Thousands of kids grow up in adoption facilities because not enough people have that kind of money to adopt kids. Crazy way to exploit couples who can't conceive, kids who are not wanted and mothers who are forced to give up their babies because of dire situations. Adoption agencies are not perfect angels, they have deep pockets.

She has a strength and compassion which meets too often with design of societal ignorance. She was sold to very dangerous nice white wealthy parents. Now in her 40's, uncertain of which country she was even born in, or when her birthday is, she still yearns to find her birth mother and a way out of the crime world she was sold to. Her suffering is profound.. she still tries to get off the drugs she was given first as a little girl. We suffer deepest trauma in the womb and if we live through it, our lives are driven by this 'unconscious' massive pain. It hurts and warps people, humanity, future generations and we see how mucked up humanity and what we inflict on each other, other animals and our planet as a result.
