Law Permits Infant Sale Reinstated by Texas Bill
Texas State Sen. Ray Farabee says an error in the 1973 Legislature allowed the sale of babies with prices up to 15000 dollars. He quickly pushed a bill reinstating the prohibition after a Wichita Falls woman sold her child for 5000 dollars and sought the baby back. Farabee notes no criminal penalty existed due to the revision. He warns that organized rings may be arranging child adoptions in parts of the country, including Texas.
