Sold for international adoptions

When traffickers arrived in Kathmandu with these village children, they sold some to wealthy local families as servants and forced others to become street beggars. Some children were even sold for international adoptions.

Hi,

Is it right to interpret "for international adoptions" as "for the purpose of international adoptions?" If yes, then how can traffickers benifit from this?
