I’m sorry but you’re article sounds very reprimanding. Who is to say that they cannot adopt. Isn’t it a good thing that they are trying to help other children get out of the poverty and abuse that they are going through? As long as they are good to their children I don’t think anyone should boast.

Agreed, Desiree. Kris — when is the last time you adopted a child? Have you ever adopted a child? How much have you given to charities last year?>

She’s buying babies, and ONLY doing it for the media.

Tina, perhaps you should buy some babies too and save them from starvation or child prostitution.>

Well, then I’m guessing she returns the babies as soon as they aren’t worth the attention, right? Oh yeah.. she’s actually kept them and seems to be treating them well.

Yeah, “seems” to be. I don’t see how using kids to remain in the spotlight is good. If she’s ONLY doing it to help, then she shouldn’t be contacting the media. Just do it. Like thousands of other people do.

I think angelina has a problem its great she adopted 2 but were do you draw the line.You cant adopt the world .here in the united states children of all ages are living in proverty or on the streets and also there are so many babys for adopsion here.It is something that God would want her to do not just in other countrys but here were our children do not have any parents noone. In united states of america

She’s not deliberately putting them into the spotlight, and, indeed, she tried to avoid it with this one. And was accused of hiding something for the effort. And there’s plenty of babies here to adopt, and plenty of people here to adopt them. And she has the resources (and apparently the desire) for a large family. And is willing to offer her resources to others rather than only for her own genetic line. Again, I fail to see the problem there.She’s only adopted three. There’s people who get cheers for adopting FAR more children with far less income than she has. And nobody seems to accuse them of having some kind of agenda. Myself, one was my limit without going crazy, but I know there are plenty of people out there who are really maternal. She could simply be one of them. She’s even cutting back on her work, and she has, to the best of her ability, not pursued publicity for this.

Sounds like Tina has more than a touch of TEAM JENNIFER ANISTON, of late who is Miss I-forgive-you-Brad- and-Ange.’ Move on Jenn (and her fannies) and stop putting yourself out as a celeb of victimization of two prople who think more of others than themselves. Jolie-Pitt do much that has been unpublicized and so what if their celebrity cache raises awareness of the needs of the least powerful, youngest and weakest? I wish people like Tina would realize they are not mindreaders and do not know the intentions of others and should not judge becasue it make you look bitter, jealous and ugly. I like Anonymous 3-3-07 comment. Stop backstabbing Tina and go experience how ‘glamourous’ child rearing truly is!

Nobody has the right to judge anyone about their choices regarding adoption. Why would she need to adopt from the US to make it more acceptable? That’s so ethnocentric. The fact that she’s adopted at all makes her a better person than most Americans. And if she was “buying babies” solely for media attention, wouldn’t she parade them around for the paparazzi, showing them off like pets? I have an aunt who does this with her own flesh and blood children, so I would know it when I see it. The woman has been involved in world affairs for years, way before the adoptions, so I think the arguments against her bear little, if any, weight.

Actually, it would make more sense to adopt children from the poorest countries, where there is absolutely no social network that even attempts to deal with orphans. So, if you have the means and the will, go ahead, start adopting children from the poorest countries of the world, and slowly work your way up to the US. If you have fertility issues, don’t waste your money on fertility treatment, have a heart, adopt a child, preferably, a female child from a poor country and save her from prostitution.>

I am thrilled to hear that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are adopting another child. It is the most beautiful announcement, except for the cynicism of the reporter. What an ugly thought and way to report such a loving event, by encouraging the thinking that the Jolie-Pitt family would be doing this for publicity. I think the writer is making this coverage this way in order to get into the news. It is lovely and loving that the Jolie-Pitts are creating a family and a home for helpless children who may otherwise have a very bleak future or none at all. They obviously have the financial resources and the biggest hearts to embark on such a livelong adventure. Other celebrities collect cars and watches and all other sorts of materical gratifications. These two people are picking up human beings and the human spirit with all their efforts and committments. God Bless them and God love them. And congratulations to them for their newest bundle of joy.

I ask only one question. Why is everyone down on Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie adopting more children from other countries? All children need love and good parents,which I’m sure Brad and Angelina are. It think it’s and wonderful thing, their are doing for these children.

This is beautiful! Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt adopting another child. It’s truly a relief to read this kind of press, rather than the bountiful crap that’s been in the tabloids about their purported private lives, and then the nonsense with Jennifer Aniston.
I really feel that Jennifer Aniston has been playing the whole thing up since Brad Pitt left her after giving her 4 years to decide about child-rearing herself, when he made that a clear choice for him, regarding marriage and his life.
At this point I feel Jennifer Aniston should be woman enough to stop the gossip about her relationship with Brad Pitt. If they are platonic friends, fine. and why isn’t she making that perfectly clear? Instead of continuing to insinuate that they are more than that, when Jolie and Pitt are working so hard to make a family with many children, natural, and adopted, as well as their other good works in this world? I only heard of Jennifer Aniston, in all these years she’s been in the public eye, that she donated one used dress for charity. On top of that, the greed that all the “Friends”used to up their salaries to $1,000,000.00 per episode has also started an avalanche of overpayment for people fortunate enough to be cast well in an ensemble of players. Please, let’s get real in this world, and really support and publicize what is good and decent, and stop sensationalizing crude gossip.
