But also I don’t think anyone seeking surrogacy or adoption thinks babies are a right. And as someone with kids I don’t think you can come close to knowing or understanding the overwhelming desire to have a family when you can’t. #surrogacy

54) Human Trafficking Part Four The content discusses the pervasive issue of human trafficking within various societal systems in America, such as adoption, surrogacy, and the military. It highlights personal experiences and the detrimental effects on individuals and communities, urging readers to recognize these connections to promote healing and potential escape from these cycles of exploitation.

Natalia's mother was heartbroken to find out what had happened to her baby. The Manses adopting all of those other kids for disability/state money is another clear example.

So, how do we know what's trafficking and what isn't?

Good question. #trafficking #adoption #surrogacy #military #donation
