Child harvesting is the active drafting of parents and children for the adoption market and is particularly associated with and prevalent in some international adoption countries and markets.[1][2][3]

Typically a relinquishing family or parent is coerced into permanently giving away the child for adoption without any hope of ever re-connecting with the child.[4]

Baby factory

Template:Distinguish2

Baby factory or baby farm is a location where women are encouraged or forced to become pregnant and give up their newborns for sale.[5][6][7] Some poverty-stricken women have stated they voluntarily worked at baby factories, motivated by the prospect of monetary gain.[8][9][10] The children are sold for adoption, will work in plantations, mines and factories, will carry out domestic work or are sold into prostitution.[9][11][12] Less commonly they are tortured or sacrificed in black magic, witchcraft rituals.[5][6][7]

Nigerian Raids

In 2008, a network of baby factories claiming to be orphanages, was revealed in Enugu, Enugu State (Nigeria) by police raids.[12][13][14] In 2011, Nigerian police raided two more hospitals, thereby dismantling two baby factories: in June, thirty-two pregnant girls were rescued in Aba, Abia from a hospital of the The Cross Foundation;[5][7][11] in October, seventeen pregnant girls (thirty according to some sources[15][16]) were rescued in Ihiala, Anambra from a hospital of the Iheanyi Ezuma Foundation.[6][17]
