Even as a spoof, this blew my mind, in part because of how much time someone must have devoted to it: Child trader As you may have heard on the news or read in one of our press releases, Child Trader is now the nations 4th largest child exchange network and as such, has brought happiness to more than 1623 American households who otherwise had very few options in creating a more loving family and home life when realizing their child wasn’t the right fit for them. Child Trader Child Exchange Network isn’t about not loving childing. Its about finding a family that can love them more. From the FAQ section: My child is pretty run-down. Should I still consider trading him/her? Yes! One man’s garbage is another man’s gold, so don’t count your kid out of trading eligibility just because of bad skin, awkward arms or thick glasses. Many parents find these traits adorable in trades, especially if they find their child too handsome, too athletic or too intelligent. Do you consider those bad traits? Some trading parents do. | ||

Child Trading has being going on for several years but only started to be come popular over last 10 years because of websites like this one. We considered trading, but decided to wait 2 years to see if our daughter was the right girl for us. Well, you know Moms, they get attached to their little girls so we decided to keep her despite the fact our cat was getting annoyed that Jill kept getting into his food dish. He refused eat the food after she dumped it all over the kitchen floor. So far it seems to be working out. Last edited by jtee : 05-15-2008 at 10:46 PM. | ||

The part that made me laugh was the "Myths" section: Myth: Trading kids has bad long term consequences This is absolutely not the case. We don’t follow up with of our past shoppers, but we have found that many parents benefit so much from the experience that they come back to trade kids again and again, some as often as once a year. Myth: The World is Flat No, it isn’t. The twin towers were not taken down by a controlled explosion, the illuminati hasn’t fixed the Oscars since the 70s and Sasquatch, if he ever existed, was driven to extinction in the 1930s. The world is not flat. Even Columbus knew it, and you are smarter than him, it’s time for you to come to terms with reality and start putting the interests of the child first | ||
