Swap Meet

It's a good thing my parents didn't have this option.

The profiles are refreshingly candid. Here's 12-year-old Andrew's:

Physical Description: Tall and strong, but not a very appealing boy in appearance.

Medical History: Can drink milk without issue, not allergic to bees, mold or cats, and enjoys going outside all the time. May have a bit of the Leukemia, but God doesn’t make mistakes so he’s just perfect for somebody out there.

From Peggy, who found it too late.

"Child Trader Child Exchange Network isn't about not loving childing. Its about finding a family that can love them more. "

"There are many reasons why parents may elect to participate in a child trade:

* - Child is unmanageable or too manageable,
* - Child is too sick or so well that rearing does not pose sufficient obstacle,
* - Child is of the wrong gender,
* - Too many children of one gender, with none of the other,
* - Child is too old or too young,
* - Child is too proficient or deficient at a particular sport or musical instrument,
* - Just don't like the kid you have."

I'd trade my bother for Olivia :)
