Court documents show that one child traded hands for just 5,000 rubles, which is just more than $75 US dollars.

A Russian journalist who used a name and social media account derived from thin air, and hardly a shred of credibility, was able to teeter the line of legitimate baby adoption in Russia. Using the name Pavel Sarychev, the journalist discovered an underground route to buy and sell children on the black market.

When Sarychev sought a Russian adoption service and asked if there were ways around the traditional adoption avenues—and background checks by social services—the agency didn't ask any questions. Instead, they gave Sarychev options on how to adopt a child for about £5,000, which is just under $6,500 in U.S.

The journalists who went undercover to expose the corrupt and abusive adoption system found that men and women were treated differently when working around social services checks.For Sarychev, it simply meant getting the father of an abandoned baby to sign off for the transaction. For women, the process was a tad more tedious, but not hard to pull off.
