Ryan is no bigot, but business is business. "There is simply a demand for white babies," she shrugs. In fact, three-quarters of the DNA in her first two batches comes from blue-eyed blonds. This isn't eugenics; it's narcissism. "What I was really looking for was blond hair, blue eyes, so the child would look similar to me," one of Ryan's clients told ABC News.

Its crazy!<br /> I feel like for every one potential adoptive parent you can educate that birthparents are not monsters or whores, here this nut is going along behind creating more FEAR. Why? All because it can draw people into her business. Well I think if you are THAT afraid of adoption, you better be ten times more afraid of THIS, and PLEASE don't do either.

That phrase alone sickens me... the whole idea sickens me. I sad and horrified and watching... well, what's next? <br /> <br /> All I can think of is "what about these children?" Are there truly hopeful parents out there (and obviously there are or she wouldn't be "in business") that feel this is a healthy way to build a family? And why make it all about adoption and the mother's right to choose how her child is parented. Good grief. That is false advertising at the very basic. I won't say what I really feel it is at the core. I can't put those kind of things in writing. <br /> <br /> “Child acquisition?” That phrase alone sickens me… the whole idea sickens me.

Her goal was to make babies for people ... not find homes for babies.<br /> <br /> This process will still create little humans ... little humans that will have the desire to know their history ... to wonder if the secrecy means that there is something "bad" about their birth family .... so is there something "bad" about them? And if they start searching one day and begin to ask this woman some questions ... what will those answers be?<br /> <br /> Can you hear me screaming???
