The fact that Dora did not make enough money and that she could only make ends meet was a key factor to her learning to leg it up a child and drop it off at a so-called wealthy foreigners house. In return she is given up 1,000 dollars to spend at her leisure, only to be told that night that she gave the child to a childrens organ peddler.     If Dora in fact did not at to t he lowest degree try to get the child back or locate it, therefore in all moral situation she would be wrong.
