Many Celebrities donate and adopt overseas. Why not help here?

Question

American children and communities need assistance and awareness of their plight here, and America is the country that employs and pays these people.

Answer 1

Yes, there are American children that need adopted, but American adoption laws are very strict and it could take years to have a child. Parents wishing to adopt an American child must be married and have a certain income and there is too much red tape to go through to adopt an American child. China recentely implemented such laws.

As far as donations go; America is a completely industrialized nation. While there are people in America who fall under unfortunate circumstances, it's an entirely different situation when nearly a whole country lives in poverty.

Answer 2

1.) Because America isn't a poor country. Many other countries are poorer than the poorest person in the USA.

2.) Some of those other countries have AIDS and other diseases running wild. The USA has people with AIDS, but we have treatments, and some of those people there with those diseases have none = less time to live, etc.

There's more, but this is what I can think of off the top of my head.

Answer 3

I'd say with the exception that Madonna dealth with, if one adopts overseas, the likelyhood that the natural parents would come back and petition the courts to have their child returned to them is very small.

To feel the love a parent has for a child, and then to have someone take that child away is a pain I cannot fathom.

Answer 4

They wanna make a scene and seem noble, roun' here in a American isn't good enough for them when they want Bad they wanted badest of bads.

Answer 5

It is easier, cheaper and faster to adopt overseas.

Answer 6

Doing something for your own people makes no sense it's more appreciated when done for some poor country no one knows about.

Answer 7

because it's a trend to make international adoptions and bla bla
