Hi Ladies.
I agree its shocking. Clearly these guardians are childless and have already registered with the agency; they would have been given a child by them sooner or later. Surely this has been highly advertised and probably been blown out of proportion on telly. I can see the agency are trying to portray a message to the parents who abandon their children which happens alot in poor countries.
I just hope the child is bought up well as which is what we would wish for any abandoned child. I suppose its better than being out on the streets or being eaten away by animals. The people involved in finding these children a home are no where as bad as the natural parents!

Have you ever heard of this?? A baby was given away in a raffle at the 1909 Seattle Worlds Fair During the 1909 World Fair in Seattle, a baby was given away in a raffle! - OMG Facts (http://www.omg-facts.com/History/During-The-1909-World-Fair-In-Seattle-A/51961)

I think people used to treat kids, babies in particular, as being somewhat disposable - plus I think human life as a whole used to be valued a lot less highly. It's probably hard to be that outraged over something when you have cholera LOL. And maybe some other countries are still more of that mindset because their lives may be more difficult.
