Child Adoption Trafficking
There are reports from China that at least 20 babies born in violation of population-control policies were abducted and then trafficked into child adoption by government officials. The report by the Chinese magazine Caixin that family planning officials in central China's Hunan province had abducted the children and sold them to people in the US and the Netherlands is now being investigated.
Chinese officials do not always enforce the "one child" policy with much vigor, and the worst that violators normally receive is a fine. This is not the first time that Chinese family planning officials have been accused of abusing population control policies for profit. One family claimed they had not broken the law as the child was their first, but family planning "enforcers" took the baby away nonetheless. The father, a migrant worker in Shenzhen, managed to track down his daughter seven years later, living in the US.
