While many people desire to have a baby (the recent kidnap of a 2-day baby at the Central Obstetrics Hospital in Hanoi is an example), there are mothers who are ready to give up their babies, who are not born yet.

They are not ready for family life but some young women are pregnant because of lacking knowledge on contraceptive measures. They are afraid to give an abortion or they know about their pregnancy when the fetus is too big, so they could not perform an abortion. As a result, some offer their unborn babies for free on the Internet.

“I’m pregnant for seven months and I want to give the baby for free.” This is the advertisement of a student on an online forum for childless people. “I’m a student so I cannot afford to bring up this baby. Moreover, my family does not know about the baby, so I want to give the baby for free. I will give birth in late December. I hope someone can bring up my child very well. I’m in Binh Thanh District, Saigon. Let’s call me at 0120291xxx.”

Another pregnant woman wrote: “I’m pregnant for 34 weeks but I cannot raise up the child. My boyfriend has abandoned me and I don’t dare to bring the baby home and could not bring up the child. Is there anyone who wants to adopt my baby…”

“My girlfriend is at 6th month pregnancy and the baby is a boy. We planned to bring up our son but we are students so cannot afford it. We have decided to give the baby for someone who is good-hearted,” a ‘young father’ advertised.

Everyday, obstetrics hospitals in Hanoi and HCM City welcome hundreds of infertile couples. Among them, there are young couples who have got married for 4-5 years but they could not have a baby. Some of women, according to doctors, had abortion several times and now they cannot be pregnant and penetrate the aspiration for a baby.

Being discontented about young women who offer their babies for free on the net, Mrs. Kim Anh, from Cau Giay district, Hanoi said: “It is easy to give up their baby but it is extremely difficult to take them back. Children are the greatest assets of parents. I’ve witnessed many couples who took great pains to have a baby.”

“I lost my baby when my delivery time was very near. It is the most painful thing for a woman. How can they give up their babies that way,” said a woman in Hanoi.

Social experts said that families, schools and the society need to strengthen education on reproductive health for young people to avoid such cases.
