Bulgaria Babies for sale

21 May 2009 |

‘News of the World Magazine’ published an investigative piece about illegal adoption of babies in Bulgaria and Romania. The investigator of the newspaper visited several mothers in Bulgaria wanting to sell their children. The article quotes that in 2006, 10 Bulgarians were sentenced to up to six years imprisonment for selling 23 babies to French families for around £4,500 each. Police have also investigated hundreds of similar cases involving Bulgarian and Romanian babies being sold in neighbouring Greece and Italy.
