Wish I had the rep to downvote a comment,

> you can always give away the kid

a child is not a goddamn pet or a commodity that you can just give away

> In some countries you can even sell your kids, but it is frowned upon in many Western societies

A common country where that happens is Pakistan/Afghanistan where young boys are sold to be prostitutes. I am GLAD it's frowned upon as it should be everywhere in the modern world.

> fostering is the trial run you are looking for

Again, children are not pets, fostering is the same as raising a biological child, if you're doing it any different and treating the child differently, in my opinion, it's tantamount to child abuse.

Frankly this comment lacks any humanity, and hopefully you choose not to have or foster children.




The other thing that happens is that they (both genders) are sold into begging rings
