Re: Brad & Angelina Adopting again
You also have to remember though the lifestyle these poor children would have where they are being adopted from. Almost certainly by this point, Maddox would be begging out on the streets. Zahara was very, very sick when they adopted her, as are many of the children in African orphanigies. These kids had nothing. These children would have no education, no health care, lack of basic necessities...God knows what would happen to them in the long run... no matter what their flaws or time contraints, Angelina and Brad are providing a MUCH better life for these children and any others that they choose to adopt.

While I totally agree that their lives are far better than they would ever be in their native countries.......does that justify their parents jet-setting all over the world shooting movies, adopting additional children and being goodwill ambassadors instead of being home to nurture the unique family they already have?
When is enough enough?
You must remember also, that there is a very small window of time you can spend with a child before they are all grown up and moving out and doing their own thing. Before you know it, if you don't get that QT with them, you and they will have missed those precious moments because the parents are off trying to save the world.

Re: Brad & Angelina Adopting again
They need to stop. They might have the money to support these kids, but money isn't everything. They need to emotionally support them too-not adopt a new one when the last one gets old.

I dont think thats whats going on here AT ALL!!!
I think she knows what she wants in her family... I think she wants to have and or adopt x amount of children to complete her family, and wants them to all be together as soon as possible... so they all can adjust together AS A FAMILY- She prob wants to "save" these children ASAP as well...
Im sorry- but i think they are very dedicated parents....and ARE emotionally there for their children..
God If I had there money- Id prob have 6 of my own, and then adopt as well!!
 to them for giving these children the opportunity to LIVE, to eat, to shower, to be educated, to be successful etc... all of which they didnt have a CHANCE at- living where they were...

I understand but how do any of us really know what their home life is really like or how much quality time they spend with their kids? I certainly don't. All I know is that they are saving lives and providing children who would normally have NOTHING with opportunities. They are giving these children a life beyond most orphan's wildest dreams. They have the means and the heart to do so. And for that, I say, bless them.

Re: Brad & Angelina Adopting again
I don't see any negatives in the situation. They are adopting these poor babies from dire situations. They are giving these babies families and real siblings. A real grandmother. A real home.
So they work? I bet the kids have the best nannies money can buy...are we really still in an era to knock a working mom? How many hours of work is too much? is this anyone's business?
I think she is a hero. I think great for her if she turned even one couple onto adopting. Her love for her kids shines through.
In a perfect scenerio, maybe the little girl will become college educated and return back to Africa to help educate
