I think it's great, but my MIL disagrees. She thinks they should just concentrate on their children now, and not adopt again. I think the fact that they are giving them what will most likely be a much better life than they could have had is an incredible gesture, and they should be praised for it.
I know it's really none of our business, but I'm just curious what everyone else thinks.

I think it is great for them to adopt again, but I think it is way too soon, they need to give their other little ones more time. I think it is ridiculous haw all these celebrities are adoptining from Africa. We have children right here in America who are in need of a good family, that is what really gets on my nerves!!

It's great that the kids they adopt go into a loving home, far away from the country they were born in, where there were bad circumstances. However, there are so many "regular" couples in this country who wait months or years for a child to adopt, and they seem to just run over to whichever country they want a child from, and they get one almost instantly. Money and fame is on Brad & Angelina's side for sure.

Its tough enough to bring up one child well. And adopted children, especially international ones have so many complex issues. We adopted a baby a year ago and its been and incredibly tough one. Wonderful, satisfying but tough. Does any one, any agency monitor the parenting skills of these people or the progress of the children? I feel sorry for the kids. They will never have the choice of whether or not they wish to tell the world about their adoption story. They will always be a statement for celebrity adoption and celebrity largesse.

I think it is great what they are doing and they both have big hearts..You constantly see the two of them out with the kids where with many other celebrities they only have one kid and have to have a nanny with them everywhere they go..
I get tired of hearing Angelina is a home wrecker, it just annoys me that people can sit here and run there mouths and on top of that the information they say is false such as Angelina being a home wrecker.
Brad and Jennifer were over before Brad and Angelina got together and Jennifer got with Vince, it was NEVER proven who got with who first, only that Brad and Angelina were caught out together first...I suggest those who call Angelina a homewrecker educate themselves before they speak and make themselves look like fools.

I wouldn't want 4 toddlers under the age of 6 personally. But then I don't have the $$ Brangelina has. The nannies do the nasty diaper changing and dealing with the spit up, etc. All the dazzling stars have to do is tote the kids around for photo opportunities. I'll reserve judgement for 20 years and see how screwed up the kids become. I don't hold up much hope that they'll not get screwed up; it's just a matter of how bad. At least they'll probably get a chance to grow up now and not die as a baby/toddler.

I think it is good what they are doing but im sick of hearing about it, there are people out here adopting more kids then them and they are not getting any attention or how about those who adopt special needs kids?
They had a thing on TV about a couple who adopted like 20 special needs kids, those people deserve the attention more then Brad and Angelina do.
Have you noticed that the kids they adopt have to be babies or tots and none of there kids have special needs?

If they have the maturity and love and time to give to children, why not? Unless they are abusing thesse children or adopting them for superficial means, it's no one's business but theirs...your MIL is just jealous they aren't considering adopting her!

i think for awhile, they should stop and embrace what they have already. they should give their 2 youngest daughters a chance to be babies, and recieve all the attention that babies deserve.
its awesome that they are adopting children and giving them lives they would have not had a chance to live...but maybe they should wait a little bit, because babies are not a collectable item. the media makes it seem like they are shopping for a car, visiting countries to pick out the right child to add to their shelf.
but i dont know anything beyond what people and us weekly tells me. i dont know what kind of parenting their children are recieving, and i dont know what is going on in thier lives, and why they make the decissions that they make...form the outside looking in, thats my opinion though.

there are so many children in this world who need homes - so if someone is willing to adopt them, give them a fresh start and lots of love why not
my only problem with it - is most people only want babies / toddlers - what about all the other children out there who just because of their age, get left out

Couldn't care less. As messed up as she is (people seem to forget that before she went traipsing aroudn the world adopting orphans and posing for photos she was breaking up marriages, wearing vials of blood around her neck, and french-kissing her biological brother... great role model.) they're going to be screwed up anyway.
