Nowadays, some parents are forced to place their child for adoption due to a lack of financial resources to care for the child. This is especially happening for young parents and parents who do not plan their families, resulting in a large number of children despite their financial difficulties.
The public, on the other hand, has been reminded that anyone who adopt children from an unlawful method may face prosecution. Those who are detected illegally selling and adopting children will face charges of child abuse and other criminal matters involving child welfare rights.
