"I think there must be something wrong with treating children as goods, but I can't figure out what it is."
100% twisted. According to the 2007 documentary China's Stolen Children, 70,000 children are kidnapped every year. Police just recovered five children and arrested their 13 abductors Wednesday; the kids were apparently sold for anywhere between $126 and $3,800 USD. The price, I'm sure, depends both on the new family's ability to pay and the sex of the baby (boys go for more).
Cynics will blame the One Child Policy for the existence of this warped child-trade, and well, I guess I can't really disagree.
