Sandra Bullock recently adopted a 3 1/2 month old boy from New Orleans. Madonna adopted a one-year-old from Malawi. Meg Ryan adopted from China, Angelina from Ethiopia.
It's a great thing that celebrities are supporting adoption, but controversy has arised on those who take children of different backgrounds from their own. Why not adopt from their own country? Is it a PR ploy? Why does being a celebrity speed along the process when non-celebrities have to wait several years?
Madonna said:
"After learning that there were over one million orphans in Malawi, it was my wish to open up our home and help one child escape an extreme life of hardship, poverty and in many cases death, as well as expand our family."
Below is a brief story about Sandra Bullock and her son, Louie. I admire how she has come so far despite her horrible misfortune with her awful cheating husband. Media and the public thought her adoption was a PR ploy to get around her divorce, but her and her husband had actually been planning on adopting for years.
