Kids for sale ?

A loving family of six wanted to help out children in any way that they could. They decided a good way of doing so to be adopting an orphan child. They wanted to share their love and abundance with an unfortunate child  who did not have access to any of that. They did their research and learned that there were over 3 million orphans in Uganda.  So, they decided they wanted to adopt a child from Uganda. After a little over a year, they received a little six year old orphan girl named Namata from Uganda. The agency from where they adopted her said she had been abused by her birth parents and abandoned by her family. Namata was a sweet and loving girl who never showed signs of being neglected, which astonished the family, but what surprised them the most was that she would tell the family stories about how loving her family was and about the good memories she had of them. At first they thought she was telling those stories to try and cope with her traumatic past. But they soon realized she was telling the truth, she was never an orphan, and everything that was in her paper work was a lie. They realized that they were provided with a false " orphan" who was never truly abandoned by her family, only to fulfill their wants to adopt. They learned that this has been happening a lot with families in Uganda.  They  also later found out that Namata's mother was told that the family would give Namata an education and would be cared for but not fully adopted.  Once Namata's birth mother realized what was happening she realized she would never see her daughter again, which devastated her. The family did what they thought was the right thing to do and returned Namata to her family, where she belongs. Even though they were devastated to see her leave they were happy to see her  excitement to be back with her family.
