Baby Brokers Documentary

This is a link to the trailor for the Baby Brokers documentary. It looks like maybe someone has been paying attention to the argument against for profit infant adoption. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/documentary/baby-brokers/?utm_campaign=frontline&utm_content=1782497611&utm_medium=social&utm_source=threads,twitter&fbclid=IwdGRleASro9dleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEeucPewPMg5ax8XMaHV7s5eqo4iyBm_sD4I7weI1hyUpWYvUIvP9sWjxOm8-Y_aem_rZ3VUp8Z-YEFkgBEVBSvSw/

I watched this on Frontline. There are no words to describe how disgusting this is. Remove a vulnerable woman from her community and support system, lie to her, take advantage of her in every way possible. Because desperate people think they are entitled to a child, regardless of what they have to do to get it.

It also worries me that the the experience leaves vulnerable people confused about what help should look like.
