That's one possibility. Adoption is another, and that usually is legal. The Straits Times published an interesting article on adoption a couple months ago. Singaporeans can adopt Malaysian children, but adoption is rare in Singapore.

All those gay folks in the USA adopting kids to 'convert' them?BBCWatcher wrote:I found the total U.S. number for 2008 for comparison: 136,000 (approximate).

I wonder why there's such a big difference? It's very interesting.
