Exploiting poverty to acquire a child is wrong

IN response to Maria O’Keeffe’s letter (Irish Examiner, April 22) attacking your recent coverage of foreign adoption, I would suggest that rather than being an unbalanced and jaundiced view, we are at last seeing the other side of the story.

Yes, of course, there are many hundreds of international adoptive parents who did so with the best interests of the child at heart, ensuring the adoption was pre-approved, legal and ethical.

But there are others who just want a child at any cost.
