Baby Buying
.
Texas Sen. Dan Patrick has proposed legislation to pay pregnant women $500 for choosing adoption over abortion.
My letter:
Sen. Dan Patrick’s proposal to pay women to choose adoption - while vile - is not original.
If enacted, it would put the state of Texas in the baby brokerage business right alongside the likes of Seymour Kurtz who has been under investigation since the 1960s for baby brokering here and in Mexico. Kurtz has been called “the most controversial” of adoption attorneys because of the many ways he has found to circumvent laws and regulations.
Posing as a charity for any mother (or pregnant woman) who “needs to put her life together,” Kurtz’ Golden Link Foundation www.goldenlinkfoundation.com was offering to pay up to $10,000 to mothers who surrender their babies to one of the agencies owned by Kurtz.
Sleazy, exploitive, coercive practices are just as damaging to people’s lives when cloaked in legitimacy or charity. Families in crisis need support to remain together. Children are not commodities to be bid on or bought with pay-offs.

Kurtz id one the most notorious and slippery baby brokers. I have lots written about him in my new book, The Stork Market. There is quite a lot about him on the web.
