INCREASING demands by childess couples for
children for adoption and the excess of this

In some states baby brokers" actually are
selling infants before they are born, to be sold
and resold before they finally, If ever, reach the
homes and the couples awaiting them.
So brazenly importunate are these profiteers
that some of them are advertising for adaptive
