Legal implications of international baby selling—Country of origin: Albania

abstract The selling of babies into the commercial adoption market is an internationally condemned criminal act. Yet, little is known about the nature, extent, patterns and development of this illicit trade. This article explores the state of the problem in Albania and its legal implications through the analysis of real cases of Albanian babies sold in Greece. It examines how the selling of babies for illegal adoption could be part of a larger scheme of trafficking in persons, in particular vulnerable, expecting women. A connection between baby selling for the purpose of illegal adoption and trafficking in persons is drawn and analysed. The paper also explores efforts to distinguish between cases of baby selling for illegal adoption versus trafficking in children.
