Child laundering, or child trafficking, is the practice of illegally using children for exploitative purposes like labor, prostitution, and adoption etc. The children that are trafficked in or out of a country mostly come from poor and backward families who may willingly give them over for laundering in the hope of earning money or providing a better place to the child. However, most of these children end up in neglect, abuse, and torture at the hands of their recipients.

A child is a joyous thing. Adoption can be a beautiful, special experience for both the child and the parents involved. Adoption agencies usually have an extensive screening process. Sometimes a couple might be rejected by an adoption agency and can turn to the illegal sale of a child to get what they want. They may or may not be aware that the child at the center of the adoption has been stolen from its parents. Those who are involved in child trafficking can be subjected to legal issues, whether they are the abductor or the couple who adopts the child.
