The Baby Business

'This was the only way we could get children - and we would gladly pay twice as much.' So say one American couple who, after ten years of trying to adopt through registered agencies, finally turned to a 'baby-broking' lawyer and bought a boy and girl for $16,000. Jeanne la Chard talks to girls who supply the baby market, couples who have bought babies, surrogate mothers who conceive born-to-order children, and the middle men - the baby-brokers. And the problem is not confined to America - it exists in this country too.
