I would suggest you research your agency VERY carefully. Have an open discussion with them about these issues, perhaps consider an abandonment case-- the kids are a bit older but my guess is that there may be a little less risk for corruption.

However....poverty is a very real issue and not an "unethical" reason for a birth mom to decide to give up her child for adoption. While a corrupt someone may take advantage of the situation, there will be many very legitimate cases of giving up due to poverty. That can only be expected in a poor nation without the social welfare system our country and other developed nations have to support unwed, poor birth mothers.
