Is it fair to be critical of her adopting a child? I don' think there is any reason to think she isn't a caring mother. And why is Angelina a saint for doing it when Madonna is criticized for it?

I mean I wouldnt want Lindsey Lohan doing it.. but if some one is a mature adult.. I see no problem with it. I heard the grandmother didn't want Madonna to take her grandson out of the county or something like that... but if the kid is "up for adoption" then that's just they way it goes.

People pick on Angelina too. I don't know Madonna's heart and neither does anyone else so we can't say for sure either way. Although, it does seem like baby collection as a fad. And why does no one ever adopt the poor and need children here in the USA?

Because the poor in the US are better off than the middle class in most of the world. But if you know much about adopting in the US, let me know. As for the grandmother, not wanting the baby to go, I have to wonder if the grandmother feels that the baby wouldn't have been up for adoption had Madonna's offer not come along. As I don't have reason to believe that is true, I think Madonna is doing a good thing.

I would love to adopt one day.. apperantely its really hard to get a baby here in the us.. older kids are much easier.

In 9 months, I could be back in the diaper changing business, but I would much rather just skip that stage if I were to adopt.

Im not sure how much easier... a lady at my church adopted a baby from Russia.. cause it turned out she could get a baby.. and get one faster . Here she would have to wait a very long time to get a baby. Its much faster to get like a 5yr old. one of the ladies I work with has adopted like three kids they even get free college from the government! they have to apply for grants and what not..and then the government pays the rest.. but if they dont get any grants.. the government pays for everything! Thats so amazing

Financially maybe, but there are a lot of children stuck in foster care and state care environs that deserve a loving home.

That just sounds so faddish. I think if you are going to adopt it should be someone your heart goes out to. Not, "I want a little black boy" or African boy, or Laotian boy or Chinese boy et cetera et cetera.

They can get a black child from the states really fast. And it is a whole lot easier to bring a child in from the states than another country. It has nothing to do with fads.

But we produce more than unwanted black babies. I understand buying American but why black in particular. That's what seems faddish to me.

Trust me, the ones I know don't seem faddish at all. Don't know them well enough to start asking questions like 'why did you want a black kid' though.
