One of these women needs to raise children. The other needs a puppy.
Why are we so messed up? Don’t you suppose it would be harder for Ellen Degeneres to adopt a child than for Britney Spears to get her hands on one? The popped up princess is rumored to be in negotiations to adopt a six-year-old pair of Chinese twins. Huh? Didn’t China start cracking down on unfit mothers and such? Maybe they’re just really mad because we exposed all those nasty toy ingredients and this is their revenge. They’ll show us – just offload some more worthless girl children.
And then there’s Ellen. After all that nonesense this summer with the dogs, I couldn’t help but wish she and her girlfriend Portia DeRossi would just go ahead and adopt some kids already. I mean if you’re goign to cry all to pieces in front of total strangers, you’re practically a mother already. But who knows – maybe they know better. Could it be that if you’re really good with pets, you’re horrid to children? And vice versa?
If so, Britney ought to try the pet mommy role again. But I suspect all she’s really after is something to cuddle.
What’s with this attitude that if you have enough money you can just write a check and dial up a kid? It’s all a bit confusing to see celebrity adoption in the media portrayed as a quick and smooth solution for one party or the other. Real life adoption is messy, hurtful, and often full of less than pure motives. It’s not that we should expect more from our celebs. The thing is, we ought to hold everyone to a higher standard. I don’t know what the answer might be. All I know is it looks more like family and less like buying babies.
