article about child abduction

I am curious if anyone else read this article about an increase in abduction of children in China. (It's an LA Times byline but I read it in the Seattle Times).

The article describes instances of child theft and baby buying, and of course it is very disturbing.

I guess I am just concerned about the nature of the article-there is obviously some news in there, but some of the statements seem inflammatory and I sensed an undercurrent of blame being passed to foreign adopters. I am curious what reactions, if any, people here have had to articles like this. I am also wondering what your family/friends have said.

I apologize in advance if I have offended anyone by bringing this up. There was just something about this article that bothered me (beyond the obvious distress at reading about children being abducted-which is a horrific subject in and of itself).
