Child trader...

&lt;LEFT&gt;&lt;s&gt;<LEFT>

&lt;/s&gt; &lt;COLOR color="Navy"&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;/s&gt;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. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;e&gt;&lt;/e&gt;&lt;/COLOR&gt; &lt;e&gt;​

&lt;LEFT&gt;&lt;s&gt;<LEFT>

&lt;/s&gt;&lt;COLOR color="Navy"&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;/s&gt;Child Trader Child Exchange Network isn’t about not loving childing. Its about finding a family that can love them more. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;COLOR color="Black"&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;/s&gt;From the FAQ section: &lt;e&gt;&lt;/e&gt;&lt;/COLOR&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;e&gt;&lt;/e&gt;&lt;/COLOR&gt; &lt;COLOR color="Navy"&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;/s&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;/s&gt;My child is pretty run-down. Should I still consider trading him/her?&lt;e&gt;&lt;/e&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;e&gt;&lt;/e&gt;&lt;/COLOR&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;COLOR color="Navy"&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;/s&gt;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.&lt;e&gt;&lt;/e&gt;&lt;/COLOR&gt;

"Child Trader Child Exchange Network isn’t about not loving childing. Its about finding a family that can love them more."

This made me laugh.

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.

yeah Kalli Rae, once you got them trained then it not worth it.

 

[.:Kalli Rae:.]

Totally.

 

[Kaytee]

hmm.. do they do this with spouses? lol j/k

&lt;r&gt;The part that made me laugh was the "Myths" section:&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;COLOR color="Blue"&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;/s&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;e&gt;&lt;/e&gt;&lt;/COLOR&gt;&lt;COLOR color="Blue"&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;/s&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;/s&gt; Myth: Trading kids has bad long term consequences&lt;e&gt;&lt;/e&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;e&gt;&lt;/e&gt;&lt;/COLOR&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;COLOR color="Blue"&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;/s&gt;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.&lt;e&gt;&lt;/e&gt;&lt;/COLOR&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;COLOR color="Blue"&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;/s&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;/s&gt; Myth: The World is Flat&lt;e&gt;&lt;/e&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;e&gt;&lt;/e&gt;&lt;/COLOR&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;COLOR color="Blue"&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;/s&gt;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&lt;e&gt;&lt;/e&gt;&lt;/COLOR&gt;&lt;/r&gt;

Wanna swap? I'll take your little girl too. lol

 

[musicmom]

What a wonderful concept. Is there a special community you should live in to get in on this deal?

It definitely satirizes the anti-adoption movement. But it also takes aim at all sorts of targets (e.g., homophobia, religious intolerance, PC talk about kids), which made it funny to me.

I had not considered this. Good observation.

Ari is likely correct, the site is just going after a lot of different extreme positions. Personally I had never hard of "Anti-adoption moment" before. Is that for real?

 

[Mindy]

Sorry Jtee, just say this now for some reason. Yes, it's very real. Unfortunately anti anything always gets a bad name. They have a lot of really important motives too... And it doesn't mean "anti-adoption" like completely, but more pro-family preservation and pro-adoption reform

I'm "anti-mosquitoe". Wanna join my cause?


I've also never heard of an anti-adoption movement. I'd have to say I'm against anti-adoption. I think adoption is a good thing.
