Russia --- Generally, kids are found in the cabbages or brought by storks.
           I have, however, heard of kids being purchased anywhere from 
           hospitals to hardware stores and sometimes even won on fares.
           Looks like kids are the only product widely available in Russia,
           doesn't it? 

I was personally found in various places,
depending on mom's mood at the moment.
