International Adoption: The Exploitation of Women and Children

Barbara Kasper

Although the adoption of Third World children by adults in developed nations may provide families for parentless children, it also exploits women and children in undeveloped countries, both politically and economically. The common practice of treating international adoption as a business has resulted in violations of standards and laws. To deal with this problem, human rights must be protected, community development programs must be expanded, and standards and laws must be strengthened.
