Normally, I commend people that go out of their way to help a person in need but I have to say..this trend of celebrity adoptions is starting to really piss me off! Not because it seems that normal adoption rules are seriously bent to make things easier for them, nor is it the fact that they don't even make the trip to pick up the said child, oh no...they send an assistant to do that! What pisses me off is that there are literally thousands of kids in America that need homes...kids of all ethnic backgrounds. The likelihood that a child that is in the U.S. foster care program will ever have a real home of their own before they turn 18 is not very good......yet celebrities want us to turn a blind eye to these kids and focus on there "pet" regions.
I was all for Madonna when she announced her efforts to help children in impoverished countries, that is until I found out that the children would be taught Kaballah crap! Guess what Madonna, starving children in Africa can do without Jewish HooDoo, $8 bottled water and little red string bracelets around their tiny little wrists. All this now just stinks of self promotion.
Celebrities need to realize that charity begins at home and once we pull our collective asses out of the gutter and can truly claim that we have no homelessness, no needy children, no hurt....then we can honestly focus on other counties.
If, on the off chance that you are a celebrity reading this, please do not be offended by what I wrote and feel free to run to whatever foreign county that is trendy at this and choose your child like you would a designer handbag. Really, it's ok....but it might actually behoove you to make sure ahead of time that the child in question does not actually have a family somewhere. Also, don't be alarmed when people don't automatically pat you on the back when you just seem to whisk in for a quickie adoption with seemingly no more concern then when you get whisked to the front of the line at Neiman's when you just want to pick up a cute little something to wear to Elton's house. Just tell your self they are simply jealous because you have a fabulous little imported african child and they have to settle for a "domestic".
