這是一對家住洛杉磯貝弗利山莊的夫婦，妻子46歲那年還沒有孩子，丈夫建議去中國領養一個，於是兩公婆歡歡喜喜飛到中國去從“共產主義”下解救一個孩子（貼子原話，不知這女人是開玩笑還是怎麽的想出這麽個理由）。但是當揭開包住孩子的毯子時發現小孩是個禿頭（繈褓中嬰兒禿頭很常見，也沒人對他們解釋一下），於是這位“媽媽”就開始了產生了對女嬰從外貌到整個人的厭惡。
現在看小孩有一歲大（照片中看起來），頭發還沒有完全長全，這位“媽媽”居然找過原來的領養機構要求退“貨”，完全是把孩子當成商品或寵物了。隻是 “退貨”沒能被接受，理由居然也是孩子“禿頭”，這都是什麽世道。於是這位“媽媽”就把孩子給登到craigslist上來“拍賣”了。看到照片裏的孩子真是可憐，在這樣一個情況下不敢想象那位“媽媽”是不是還能用心照顧她，貼子裏說孩子整天哭，大概是好不到哪裏去。河裏如果有人能想到什麽辦法，希望不論是國內還是國外，幫幫聯係國內領養機構，實在不行就把孩子接回去吧，這個樣子看著孩子真受罪，還不知道會不會有人看到craigslist把小孩領養呢。

I don’t like the baby we adopted (Beverly Hills)

Hello. My name is Barbara Stanwick. I need help, my adopted baby isn’t what
I expected and I don’t like it. Here’s my story…
Ever since my husband, Don, and I married 22 years ago, I’ve wanted children
. The years passed, and once I turned 45, I knew it was too late for me to
conceive. So last year, on my 46th birthday, Don surprised me with adoption
papers. It was the greatest day of my life. We were going to adopt a baby!
It was from China, but I was still excited (we’re very gracious, and wanted
to save a baby from the communists)!
After being on the adoption list for several months we were informed that a
child had been selected for us! My anxiety acts up on planes, so Don’s
assistant, Lauren, retrieved the baby from the Orient. I was finally going
to have my very own baby.
When Lauren walked in, it was swaddled in blankets. I named her Wing, right
then and there. A combination of Wang and Ling. I had never been happier,
holding little Wing in my arms.
But it was all downhill from there. I pulled back the blanket from her face
and that’s when I saw the problem. Not only did Wing NOT look like wanted
her to, but she was BALD! I had been given a BALD Chinese looking baby! My
vertigo hit me like a wall.
Since then, I have been trying to send Wing back to China, but they won’t
take her. I filed a complaint with the adoption agency, but they didn’t
accept “bald baby” as a reason for returning it. Wing cries all the time,
which makes my migraines act up and I think the cat might be allergic to her
as well. If anyone would like to take Wing, even though she’s bald, I will
either trade or sell her to you. She’s not a bad baby, I just think we can
find a better one. Thank you for your time. Serious inquiries only.

如果可以的話，還是讓這個小女孩回到祖國吧，至少不用像貨品那樣被拍賣。希望大家多頂頂，有能幫助的伸一把手，謝謝。
