Apparently The Going Rate For A Kid Is $1Million:

[Clay Aiken] made the sensational money offer in late 2006, a close friend exclusively told The Enquirer.

The drama began when a woman who was friends with Clay discovered she was pregnant after having an affair. “The woman was a platonic but close friends of Aiken’s,” said the friend.

“She was having an affair with the husband of another of Clayton’s close women friends - and he got her prgnant.”

The sincer… was upset to see two of his female friends facing off in a potentially embarrassing scandal, according to the source. The husband told his wife about his infidelity and resulting pregnancy, “and she did not take it well,” revealed the source. Then the man stunned his wife by disclosing Aiken’s shocking $1 million baby offer.

The entertainer had good intentions, hoping his offer would be the perfect solution to a difficult problem - but it blew up in his face when the husband took offense, divulged the source.

“Clayton thought he was getting the man out of a hole, but the man was insulted. He turned him down flat. He divorced his wife and now lives with the woman he impregnated - and the two are great parents to their baby.”

Ha ha ha...that's awful. The thought of Clay Aiken buying your illegitamate child would embarass you into taking responsibility. That should be a government program.
