A Dutch couple wants to keep a baby Belgian purchased on the Internet

A Dutch couple who bought a baby Belgian internet announced Wednesday that he wanted to keep the child and adopt it legally, in an interview published by the Dutch daily De Telegraaf.

"We want it to be legally bound to us as quickly and have hired a lawyer," said the Dutchman Gideon S. "A little guy like that you can not do without it," says he.

"We wanted to adopt legally, through official channels, but the parents did not want. They wanted to decide themselves who receive their child," he continues.

He claims that his wife and himself did not buy the baby but "compensation paid to the mother for clothing, the months they could not work and the hospital."

According to Dutch media, the couple would have paid 5,000 to 10,000 euros to biological parents.

According to De Telegraaf, the Dutch Council for Child Welfare, under the Ministry of Justice, "this week will take a decision on the future of the child". No spokesman was reached Wednesday morning.

An investigation was ordered Tuesday by prosecutors in Zwolle (center) and entrusted to the police.

The Dutch couple, who came into contact with the biological mother of the baby through an advertisement on the Internet, had brought the baby, named Jayden, a few hours after birth in early July to hospital Jan Palfin of Ghent
