[Quranic Reflection]: Surprise surprise..children are purchased to this day

[The Architect Of Fate]

Often, some people accuse the Quran for advocating slavery when it mentions the story of Joseph -peace be upon him-, who got sold to a family that wants to adopt him:

It's not slavery because the child isn't the property of adopter 

But if this is the case from ancient times, then what differed today in the so called "free world" ? buying children using dollars doesn't change the case that this practice is not slavery even by the standards of anti-Islam people.

Again paying to adopt a child isn't slavery because he child isn't the person's property

Children are sold to this day, and good people adopt them for a price. So what's the fuss about the Quran and slavery? note that taking slaves is not even mentioned in the book.

Because paying for an adoption isn't slavery because he child isn't the person's property

And i guess the Islamic world missed that memo

And as Forbes points out 

When you pay for an adoption, you are not paying for a human being. You are paying for services that facilitate bringing the child into your home. There are attorney’s fees, home studies (reports by social workers about the adoptive families), agency fees, and background checks. Adoptive families are expected to pay for expenses incurred by the birthparents, who can reserve the right to change their minds. There will be people who try to get you to hire them for “marketing” and as “adoption counselors.” Check out anyone who wants to help in this way with your social worker or adoption agency first. (In the depths of waiting misery, I paid someone $4,000 to connect me with birth parents around the country. She didn’t, my adoption happened a couple weeks later through the original adoption agency, and her business—and my money—disappeared.)
