These celebs think they can just go to the 3rd world and pick up children like they're fashion accessories. Why not adopt children in homes from America?

Ok, my bad, America/UK... where ever they come from originally.

I AGREE!!
And I think it's absolutely disgusting and hypocritical for these jerks to go to another g'damned country, call themselves "philanthropic", and adopt some brat from another nation. There are just as many needy, homeless, orphaned children in this country to choose from...

I couldn't agree with you more. There are too many homeless orphans in America right now that need love and attention especially after Hurricane Katrina. Sadly, it's not really about that. Like you said it's just fashionable to have a child from a third world. Also, Madonna is fighting the child's biological father for custody of the little boy in Africa. It has become a hellish world when a parent has to fight celebrities for custody of their own child! When celebrities are just doing it for popularity. I also agree with Steve UK, Madonna could've just gave the father money to take care of the child(if she had the child's best interest at heart.) Even if it was only $1,000. In Africa that would go a long way and probably fix their financial situation! Why couldn't she just get an orphan in the first place?

At least with Angelina, she actually lives with and takes care of the child. So many celebs do these high end adoptions just to have the kid raised by nannies and boarding schools...often not even in the same country as the adoptive parent.

Firts of all children in Cambodia and Africa have it a helluva lot worse than most - not all- kids in America do. Not just the poverty but the dangerous political climate of their countries. Angelina adopted children frum these countries not only to give them a better chance in life, but to bring to our attention to the problems that exist in these third world countries. I'm sorry if it bothers you that she adopted brown and yellow children instead of white. Secondly, I find it slightly disgusting that people are adopting children now to look cool or jumpstart their careers (see Meg Ryan, Madonna).

I think that they want to adopt kids to look good, like they are helping the poor. But when you think about it, those little third world kids are so lucky. It is like one day their lives change forever and then they do not have to worry about money forever.
Ah, it is sad that these celebs use HUMAN CHILDREN as fashion accessories. It was bad enough using LITTLE DOGS and putting the poor things in purses to suffocate.

Yes! Unfortunately!
It's The New Millionairess fashion Accessory!
Madonna is encountering problems with the way the adoption was rail-roaded through so quickly!!

I completely agree with you. I work in the social service field so I know how many kids in the US need adopting. However, Angelina had done so much in Cambodia that it's only natural that she adopts a child from there. I can see why she did it... now it's more of a trend.

I think ANgelina is a different case...she actually lives with the kids..and they are real ophans...
Modonna on the other hand...why would u adopt a kid that already has a father?
I think its Great they Adopt children from other countries because it makes it more diverse...

For Madonna (and a lot of others), I think it is for publicity. But I think Angelina is a little more sincere. We wouldn't have known about her adopting Maddox if her father hadn't said anything.

Not so sure on the Jolie baby scenario, but regarding Madge, I agree it's atrocious, the lads not even an orphan, Why couldn't she just help his father out financially and let him grow up with his own family.
PS Madge doesn't live in America, she lives in London, UK.
