Why not? There are thousands of children in the world that need to be adopted. Maybe some celebrities feel that they can provide a good home to one. To claim that they only do it for publicity is just over cynical stupidity. Madonna is a multi-millionaire many times over. The royalties from her music will keep her grand children very comfortable. Why would she need or want additional publicity at this time?
Sometimes rich celebrities decide to give back. This is a good way of giving something to the world community by setting a positive example of adoption, and has the added benefit of not needing to go through the discomfort and pain of child birth.

you are kidding right? I think the question should be why do people go to such extreme lengths to have a baby of their own when there are so many children in this world that are dying (literally) to be adopted. Even in this country, the richest in the world there are babies that need loving homes. Who cares why she did what she did, I am glad she did it, maybe it will encourage more people to do what they can for someone else instead of only thinking of them self, but really in this case every one wins, Madonna gets a baby, and a baby gets loved.

FYI, Madonna is nearly 48 years old, and she gave birth to her last child, Rocco, 6 years ago, which means in the past 6 years she could have become unable to have children, as no one knows because they are not her, or her doctor.
Other celebrities might want to adopt as they don't want to put their careers on hold while they're pregnant, or also they may be under strict appearance guidelines, they dont want to lose their jobs by gaining the weight needed for pregnancy.

Most states have a cut-off age for adoption..............mine is the age of 44.............so if you are 45 you cannot adopt in my state.
The reason this is done is just common sense......in 18years, the person age 44 will be 62, and no doubt many will become ill during those 18 years and will not be able to attend school funtions, etc.......I understand b/cause at the age of 50 I started with arthritis in my hands and feet and knees........it has interferred with many things I would have wanted to do....And if I had a child still in school, then I would have felt bad I couldn't attend functions, plays, etc that the child would have wanted me to come to..............

There are so many children in the world who need to be loved and to be part of a family. I think more people should think of adopting children along with having their own.

I think that some celebrities do it because they want to give a child a good home and they feel that they will be able to provide a child with a good home and a stable upbringing. However I also think that some do it for publicity reason, not all but I think that some do. However providing that they are looking after the child and not abusing it, there is no harm in that.

For publicity all for publicity my dear. Same with Angelina Jolie, she can have kids but what would make her more popular? To adopt a child that doesn't have a healthy life, so they put these babies up for adoption and the celebrities decide to adopt that child and of course, the news media will publicize it into the paper as well as television. I think it is a crying shame when celebrities do this, to use an innocent child just to gt publicity.

First of all, they have money so they can have a lot of kids, secondly, some people want to adopt because our world is alreadt so overcrowded why continue to procreate, when you can adopt loving children who are already born who need a home!

Ego? Guilt? Compassion? Publicity? Acceptance? Who knows?

1. They dont want to stop doing what they are doing like singing for a while because then they would have to give birth, recover from birth, and raise the kid.
2. Dont want to be fat.
