I agree its mostly for good publicity.

I am not positive that it could be considered a fad, but it does have advantages, for the child most definitely, but more for the celebrity. A celebrity receives an enormous amount of media attention when they adopt a child, most do not adopt for this reason alone, but I am sure that there are a few who have adopted in order to further their positive image and career. The most important advantage for the child is being given the opportunity to be loved and cared for, most of the time living a wonderful life. Personally I think that there are orphans in the United States that need adoptive parents, and maybe these celebrities should show some concern for the orphans in their own country.

They say it is easier and cheaper, but Madonna gave millions to start up a school there with the stipulation it teaches her religion (I don't know what it is, maybe Christian Science or something like that). I think the celebrities do it for publicity when they start to become stale in the box office. I really don't care about Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie and I wouldn't buy a movie with them in it unless it was exceptionally good.

Well we adopted two of our kids from two different countries, nope didn't have a lot of money, just went into a lot of debt but what price do you put on bringing a child into your heart, your family? So what difference does it make if they do go to other countries to adopt? Maybe there is so much red tape in states, in agencies that it makes it virtually impossible to adopt with a domestic adoption or maybe they just wanted to!! The Blessing they will receive, by adding to their families, and the love, no matter what culture, what country, is beyond words! Don't t hink it's fair of you or anybody to judge them, let them be!

Because black babies in America come from black American girls. They don't want those girls getting ideas that some celebrity might adopt their child. That would only make them get pregnant more often.

Its called a publicity stunt.
Do you really think Madonna would have adopted that little boy if she didn't think it would raise her popularity?

IT IS!!!! They had a psychologist on some show (can't remember which one) But they were saying that its hollywoods latest fad, like crocodile bags, yoga, etc... they are all just trying to be "COOL" like gimme a break!!!
Personally i say charity starts at home... there are many kids in north america who could use the help, why not start there.... like COMMMMMEEE ONNNN!!

Dont worry. Its just a fad. Next year it will be something new, like adopting little spider monkeys or eating house plants.

Why are they adopting? Because they can. They can afford to, and it's great publicity -- an attention getter -- for the next 20 years or so.

Because it's trendy.
Besides, a baby from Zimbabwe is a lot cooler than someone from Ohio
