A couple has been arrested in what Canadian police said was an apparent offer to sell a seven-day-old baby girl on Craigslist for $10,100.
A woman who saw the offer on the popular website alerted police who tracked down the 23-year-old mother and 26-year-old father using a cell phone number that was listed in the advertisement.
Police said the advertisement described the baby as "very cute" and "unexpected" and that its parents, who could not afford to care for it, wanted to give it a good home.
While I know it's inhumane to "sell" a baby, I'm just wondering, when a child is put up for adoption, isn't the child basically being "sold" to parents' who can afford to pay the high costs of adopting?
