April 28, 2004 -- A giant-sized controversy is brewing over a baby adoption special on "20/20" - and sending ABC execs into a tailspin. Millions of viewers across the country watched in surprise over the weekend as the network aired a sensational promo for Friday's segment, which pits five desperate couples against each other for the privilege of adopting a 16-year-old's baby.

See what happens when people are pro life? We have giant telivised contests where the baby is the prize. Disgusting.

This baby? I bought this baby straight cash!

I'm rich ******!

Clickity clack!

"Your wife, the little girl. SELL ME YOUR CHILDREN HAHAHAHAH!"

At least the kid will have an amusing anecdote when he grows up.

Ya know, this topic really gets me hot.

There are PLENTY of children out there that need homes. WHY do people insist on fighting over ONE of them???
Granted, I can understand why the mother of the child wants to be involved in knowing what family her child will be a part of, but showing it on T.V.? Give me a break. That turns it into a popularity contest. "Oooooh honey, we won !!! I guess that makes us better people/parents than anyone else !"....NOT !!!

Not health WHITE babies. There's a big shortage of healthy WHITE babies. It's like hittin ghte lottery to get one. Sure, you can get a baby from Laos with a respitory disorder overnight, but if you want a healthy white kid who isn't 13 years old...you gotta win the game show!

One of the main reasons American's don't adopt American babies is fear. People that have seriously looked into adopting a baby from anywhere in the world will know the potential for disaster down the road with American babies is extremely high. Turning this into a race discussion is ludicrous. If somebody really wants a white baby, there's a lot of countries out there with white infants and toddlers nearly stacked up like chord wood just waiting for adoption.

My wife and I are adopting a baby from China. There's a multitude of reason why we chose China over and America for adoption, race was at the bottom of the list of reasons. Although there are countries we could have adopted a caucasian baby from, we liked what we saw from China the best.

Crap like this sensationalizes adoptions which disgusts a lot of peole that really want to adopt a child for reasons outside of getting 15 minutes of fame. If any/all of these couples really wanted to adopt a baby they could. The five couples and the mother are on par with pond scum imo for treating adoption and the baby like a game show.

haha i remember that, hilarious!

When you pull your head out of your *** and learn a couple of things about adoption my "Smasharoo 'the ********* doesn't know what he's talking about" meter will get readjusted.

Wealthy barren cracker couples that adopt white babies so they can pass as their own are in the extreme minority. Yes they do exist but you make it sound like these are the only people that ever adopt caucasian babies.


Note what I said above about my Smasharoo meter.


As I said before, if these couples are serious about adoption and really want a baby (white or otherwise) there's more than enough babies in the world that are in need of a loving family.

It took me under 5 minutes to find this beautiful baby girl. This baby boy is also listed on the same company's website. If somebody would take a few hours to do some basic research into finding a good adoption agency to work with they would see that going on television isn't the way to go.

What's there to learn? Upper middle class cracker family discovers they can't have a children for one reason or another and decides to raise some poor person's child.

It's not a big mystery is it?


No, not the only people. The majority of people. Let's see, you adopted a chinease child, right? I imagine because you didn't want to wait in the white baby line. I would further speculate that you're a barren upeer middle class cracker.


There really aren't. Were there, there wouldn't be a thriving buisness in baby brokering. The famous "gray market" of selling children.


It took me five minutes to call the number and find out that this is how you would adopt that child.

1. Send $5000 to the agency, which is non refundable.
2. They will submit paperwork for the child in question.
3. When I asked what the chances were that I could adopt that child the woman laughed and said "Maybe 50/50 but we'll find A child for you!"

Fantastic.

Message board postings complaining about how much of a scam the agency in questions is.

If someone would just take a few minutes to research these things they'd avoid looking like asses on message boards.

Together we ventured into the web of adoption. Cyberspace was our first destination — we cruised the Worldwide Web for data on international orphans. Children are listed here with photos, biographies, and price tags attached — like used automobiles, except that the cost variation is largely based on color. A paraplegic Bulgarian tot with a cleft palate costs $30,000, whereas a mobile and dentally normal Chinese or Guatemalan urchin runs only $15,000. And black children? Absolutely nothing. Drop in and take a dozen. The Caribbean islands of Martinique, Grenada, and Barbados offer free black children to anyone who wants to fly there and pick them up.

Regional markets duplicate this scenario. The price of the few Caucasians available is preposterously steep (up to $50,000), and the bidding is intensely competitive (only a third of would-be adoptive parents ever receive their white Baby X). Meanwhile, dark-skinned babies and children languish in hospitals and foster homes, often virtually free, but unwanted.

Can we afford a white child?


I notice you didn't adopt a black child. I see that the oriental children are a nice middle ground for cracker couples unable to afford a white child. I mean they're hard working and good at math right?

Not violent and hard to educate like those dark skinned babies.

Right, you smiling self righetous rasicst ************?
