The thing that worries me about celebs adopting babies is that they seem to do it to avoid the 'inconvenience' of pregnancy. If you haven't got time to be pregnant, you certainly haven't got time to raise a child.
Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

What all of them?  Celebs seem to be able to adopt a child at the drop of a hat. Other couples wait years. I was turned down for fostering because I have epilepsy (very occasional grand mal fits and quite a lot of fits in my sleep) yet a celebrity life is not exactly rife with routine and stability.

Saving it from being raised by Madonna?

I'm sure some of them can't - but I'm equally sure that many see an adoption as a way to avoid stretchmarks!

Yes it does seem to be the trendy thing to do at the moment, especially if you adopt from another country.

Everyone always thinks the worst. Maby its just because they want to give unwanted children homes and care. Looking after kids can cost alot of cash (something celebrities tend not to be short on) perhaps they just want to share there good fortune. Maybe they have been assessed and waited the correct amount of time before adopting, its just we dont hear about it. Im just happy babies are being cared for by someone... even if it does end up being a nanny Confused

I think the babies that come from other countries are not adopted through the proper channels. Money talks. loulou2007-05-18 22:01:58
