Why do journalists always mention that Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise's first two kids were adopted?

Answer 1

Good question, maybe because most people don't know.

Answer 2

I do not know you personlly but would have liked it. I was favourably impressed by your perspicacit y. Adopting children is no more a novelty. In fact adoption is preferred to pregnancy in many families. As such this emphasis-may I sai added emphasis-put of this aspect of the family matters of these twocouples appears rather odd and must have touched your sensitivity.This emphasis could have been to underline the obvios biological dissimilrory among them or just journalistic know all ism. And you were rightfully peeved . I feel that it could be interpreted a little differently and with a little more understanding. The repeated attention may be due to a desire to attract attention to the model conduct of these couples in preferring adoption.This helps in drawing our attention to the problem of orphans the world over. When people see that even these social leaders resort to this the though of following them may at least cross their mind.Do you know that it is only because the Sun burned itself so fiercely that we receive warmth on the earth. It was only when a Buddha loves a lion that we make our minds to love at least our neighbourer. It is the journalistic way of teaching something to the readers without being diadactic.A concrete example is more impressive than a hundred sermons.

Answer 3

Beats me why "journalists" mention Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman at all.

Answer 4

If they Cruise & Kidman want the press to know that's great! May be they want other people to adopt children who need all the love they can get. An extra, as far as this couple goes is a plus, as far a materialistic things go.Besides that it's better than getting an ABORTION!!! I'd rather hear about adopted children any day, before hearing about aborting baby's.

Answer 5

I REALLY don't like Tom Cruise........... Nicole Kidman was right to dump the loser. But to answer your question....... to cause problems for the other two people in Tom and Nicole's lifes now.

Answer 6

To bring awareness to the children out there that dont have a home, there are many children in our world who have no parents, are forced to live in orphan homes, who are raised in foster care etc. If folks see the celebs adopting it brings awareness to the childrens causes and maybe people wont feel its an embarrassment to adopt a child..

Answer 7

To which "journalists" are you referring? Your question is rather vague. And no one could possibly know the answer to that, other than the journalists themselves, and whichever network they work for. Maybe you should e-mail a few of them and ask them. You might get a better answer.

Answer 8

I have no Idea but I think it is tasteless propaganda and is their personal business.We know it to be true but do those 2 sweet children need to be reminded of it by sensationalist media hype.They have a new stepfather now and the family should be allowed a normal existence.

Answer 9

I find it incredibly annoying. It's prejudice, plain and simple. They are their kids, just the same as if they were biologically born to them. Why keep emphasizing "adopted"? No one ever mentions when a kid is someone's "biological child" - do they?

Answer 10

Because they have nothing better to do with their lives than talk about other peoples lives. They need to get a life

Answer 11

It's just a way of media playing mind games with their readers
