Down Syndrome and International Adoptions part 3

My question for this entry is.....how do these countries get by with human rights violations? The treatment of kids & adults with disabilities is reminiscent of Hitler's  Action T4 program. Hitler considered the adults and children with disabilies as useless feeders and had no place in his beloved Reich. The disabled were the first victims of Hitler.

Nazi Germany and its territories had posters telling the citizens it cost the government 60,000 Reich Marks for each disabled person during their lifetime. In October 1939 Hitler signed a backdated Euthanasia Decree allowing the disabled to be murdered without the parents consent. It's hard to believe over 65 years later the disabled are still denied life. The only difference is the countries are not actively murdering these children but by denying basic needs and surgical intervention it hastens their deaths. In some countries disabled children are sent to adult institutions to live out their lives. Over half will die within one year of the transfer. The Americans know the reality these kids face if not adopted by the age of 5 and some of these countries use that knowledge to profit from the adoption.

One of the adopting parents referred to the money given to a facilitator as "bribe money", another stated she was adopting a third child as she had already bought two . She seriously said she bought children, I do believe she had good intentions to help the kids and did not have ulterior motives or evil plans after the adoptions. But she said she bought another human being.

Stay tuned to more entries about this subject.
