My roommate brought to my attention an article in New York magazine called "The Outsourced Parent." A nominally humorous take on all the services that a wealthy New York parent can shift off to other people ("Perhaps you’ve been told that having a child is a 24-hour-a-day job. But it doesn’t have to be your job—not for a moment."), it inspired him with a brilliant idea:

"Why not raise the child until they're 12 in India. Then they can send them back here."

It would make sense: why outsource the parenting when you can outsource the child? It would probably be cheaper than the $4,184,633 price tag that New York came up with.
