Well, after reading that statement, I have to say I agree 100% with UNICEF's position. I believe that the principles behind the Hague (not necessarily how it has been implemented) seem just to me. Removing the profit motive from IA seems to be the only way to ensure that exploitation is not rampant.
Of course, this is coming from someone on the verge of calling off our quest to adopt because I am so troubled by the ethical implications of Guatemalan adoption.
