***SPOILERS*** The made for TV move "Baby for Sale" shows us about the shocking baby selling industry here in the USA that until recently,according to the film's epilogue,was perfectly legal in states like NewYork and Minnesota where most of the movie and baby trafficking takes place.

The movie centers around the Johnson's Nathalie & Steve, Dana Delaney & Hart Boehner, who desperately want to adopt a baby girl and are more then willing to pay $100,000.00 for her. It's then that this sleazy Hungarian shyster Garbo Szabo, Bruce Ramsey, finds out about the Johnson's plight on the internet by Nathalie making their quest for a child public and then starts to put the squeeze on them. Offering the Johnson's this cute and healthy baby girl Gitta to adopt Szabo secretly offers the same little girl for adoption to a number of other couples without the Johnson's knowledge. It's when the Johnson's smell a rat, Garbo Szabo, in this whole baby selling operation that they contact the NYPD who in the person of Det. Joey Perrotta, Romano Orzavi, has been on to Szabo's baby selling racket for some time. But with Szabo being so sly & slippery in him knowing the ins and outs of the state law Det. Perrotta can't lay as much as a glove on him.

Setting up a sting operation by the NYPD & FBI to catch Szabo in the act of taking the money he offered to sell Gitta to the Johnsons backfired in that Szabo, covering all the bases, turns out to be well within the law in his baby selling scheme! There's also Gitta's mother who's also Hungarian, but in the country illegally, Yanka played by Elizabeth Maraelu who's being held hostage together with her infant daughter by Szabo in a downtrodden drug infested Queens New York tenement who refuses to press charges against him.

***SPOILERS** The thing that really brought the roof down on Szabo's head was the fact that the baby's, Gitta, father wasn't the person that he claimed he was. This left the door open for Yanka to get complete custody of Gitta without any interference from Szabo who now had far more pressing problems, kidnapping and extortion, to take care of. This also left the door open to charge Szabo, with among other things, of fraud that in the end put him behind bars for three years.

As for the valiant fight by the Johnsons to free both Yanka and her baby girl Gitta from being victimized by that sleaze bag Szabo it was Yanka who gave up her rights to her baby Gitta and had the Johnson's take custody of her. In Yanka knowing that in what the Johnsons did in freeing her daughter in being offered up to any number of couples for the highest price, like the fold of a top thoroughbred stallion, that they more then earned the right to adopt her.

The movie is a lower budget film, with that said it in tales horrible filming and not very good acting. The movie dragged on a little too long and was extremely boring, but the story itself was interesting. It's very enlightening to know that this movies is based from true facts. To think babies are being sold in America today is a harsh thing to acknowledge. I do appreciate what's trying to be shown from this film, but it was done very poorly.

The saddest part is that it's a true story. I didn't like the couple from the beginning. I felt they felt too entitled. The movie doesn't depict how many couples fell for this baby. How about the couples that saw the baby but weren't able to afford the baby. They have feelings, heart, and a desire for a baby, so what happened to them? Also, the couple, Nathalie and Johnson, have a child so why not give a chance to couples that don't even have a child. If the real couple is any way like the characters of this movie is simply sad. The only character that was interesting to watch was Mr. Szabo. The entire movie is upsetting and very wrong.
