eBaby

Recently, the news reported that Calista Flockhart adopted a baby. Given that eBay is a popular site and lots of people want to adopt, I can’t help but wonder if something like eBaby – minus the auction aspects – would fly.

For those who are interested in adoption, it would provide a one-stop destination. You would be able to punch in your ZIP and see all of the children who are awaiting good homes. Naturally, you wouldn’t be able to actually go through with the adoption online, but you’d at least be able to get a rough idea of the children looking. You would also be able to filter by gender, ethnicity, age, and so on.

This idea seems so much like a natural that it wouldn’t surprise me to actually see it out there somewhere. Have you? -pm
