From the Inbox: Adopting Dolls - Is this Wrong?

    Hello Carrie,
    A few days a go there was posting on FCC regarding Middleton Dolls establishing "Adoption Centers" in its Saks and FAO Schwartz stores. At first I thought it was a joke, then I Googled it and behold: http://www.newbornnursery.com!! There it is, babies to be purchased! I strongly believe this line of "marketing" demeans the entire adoption process. It stinks. What message is this sending the kids who have bought - excuse me- "adopted" a baby? I knew we lived in a capitalist system but where will this search for the almighty dollar stop?? By the way, shame on the people who are even impersonating nurses. There comes a time when somewhere you have to say stop. I believe the time has come to say it.
    Regards,
    Concerned adoptive parent
