Recently the Albany County Legislature passed a law banning the sale of cigarettes at pharmacies. Keep in mind that this law does not ban the sale of cigarettes throughout Albany County, but instead takes aim at a specific retailers. The sponsors of the bill feel that it is hypocritical for pharmacies, and markets that have pharmacies like Price Chopper, ShopRite and Hannaford, to sell these products. Many pharmacies have already made the decision to not sell cigarettes. Many grocery stores with pharmacies have already eliminated cigarette displays.

This is just insane. It's unbelievable how something like this can be legal. Kids aren't pets or an object to be selling or giving away in a website. Although, towards the end of the article it does make a valid point, what makes us think that it's right for agencies to profit and make money out of these adoptions?

I didn't know this was real until I met someone that sold their child to a family in Italy. I can't imagine selling my kids. What is even more sad is that these people don't even know if their baby is really being cared for or placed in sex trafficking or the black market for some sickos.

This article is about how prevelant child sex trafficking is in the US. 100,000 a year to be exact. It is a 9.8 billion dollar industry

It is such a shame that there is no way even with technology today to decrease these numbers.
