A Chinese father of two accepted the sale of his child, claiming that he could no longer raise his young daughter alone after his wife left.
Through intermediaries, the man managed to find a couple who wanted to "adopt" the girl for a fee after losing their son in 2017, and were unable to have children anymore.
The father had already met the couple's family for the first time in February 2019.The couple will take a look at the photos of the unnamed girl before deciding to adopt her for 80,000 yuan ($ 11,425).
When the couple tried to obtain a child's identity card using a false birth certificate, their crime was discovered.
