I was thinking about turning my blog all black in a display of mourning, but honestly, I feel as though I have no energy left to fight when it comes to celeb adoptions. Madonna Louise sucked the life right out of me when she took the liberty of skirting the law in order to purchase — oops, I mean adopt — David.
Gadzooks.
Well, now that the Jolie-Pitt family is to be 1/3 Asian, I fully expect that next, instead of talking about having a rainbow family, Miss A will soon begin referring to herself as Asian American. Or Asian Earthling. Or something similarly befitting of the kind of person who admits to hand-selecting her kids by race.
I wonder what they’ll change his name to. Joe Chi Minh? Zarkon? Skittles?
I’m going to go rock back & forth in a corner.
AHHHH!!!!! Another kid???? WHY??????
What benefit is there for her to handpick her kids’ ethnicities other than to make herself look better in the eyes of the public and to boost her own self esteem and clout her “deep commitment” to diversity?
BARF
arrgghhh! and how is she going to teach these kids about their individual heritages when they are from all over the world! Or does having millions and the two most “beautiful people” in the world as parents make the rest of your existence moot?
Actually, the Jolie-Pitts’ adoption shenanigans gag me less than Madonnas, for some reason. Maybe it’s because they appear to play by the rules of the countries from which they are adopting. I just wonder what the hurry is–their little bio-babe is still less than a year old, I think. IMHO every kid should have the chance to be THE BABY for a little while….
Jessie (adoptive parent with a conscience)
I have visions of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen. Ew!!!
Speaking of Woody, did you know that he and Soon Yi are adoptive parents? They have two girls — one white and one Asian — both adopted domestically, I believe.
I gotta wonder, who was the genius social worker who approved those two adoptions? I mean, I didn’t think 80-year-old pedophiles were allowed to adopt children in this country. Or did Woody & Soon Yi (Woon Yi?) just bypass the whole bothersome legal adoption process and homestudy nonsense, and pay their dues via the secret celebrity child marketplace that seems to be so popular these days?
Gawd save those kids … lest Woody should decide to marry one of them.
Hey, Ji In…thanks for stopping by on my blog. I am just stretching my writer’s legs again, trying to make a point to bring it back into my life because it seems to be the only gratifying thing I have done in my past. (Thus, a lot of my posts are going to be compost. You know, the crap before the real decent fertilizer forms)
Ahhh… Angelina doin’ the whole adoption thing again, eh? Good God…maybe she needs to justify her millions of dollars and the stressful day-to-day life rountine she has to “endure” by adopting helpless children and subjecting them to it as well…one may never know.
Sad to say, perhaps Woody needed some more play toys because the dungeon they built to hold their handcuffs, dildoes and other like just wasn’t doing it for him anymore.
If Angelina is truly looking for diversity, why not adopt a child with special needs? Instead it looks like she is trying to develop a family of international pageant worthy kids.
