Can I after-the-fact find a miner willing to confirm it? Pay him a small fee for doing so?

Anything like that exist?

It amazes me that mining pools haven't implemented this (or "child pays for parent") yet.

They are all paranoid about losing profitability to the extremely small orphan cost of adding low fee transactions, and yet they are all leaving significant sums of BTC unclaimed because of a bad case of tunnel vision.
