We will indeed have to disagree. I think I've actually been far more informative than anyone else on this thread (at least with respect to adoption). I think you don't like angelina jolie (fair enough, though how anyone can dislike someone they havent even met is IMO a bit odd) and have little or no experience of adoption/overseas adoption/adoptions by US citizens.
I'm generally not superior or vinegary (though perhaps a tad sarcastic) but when ill-informed people make statements like:
"She has made a mockery of genuine adoptive parenting." sorry but I'm afraid you cannot speak for the adoption community when you know so little.
"they would be better off adopted by families who want them for who they are" - who exactly? Who do you know thats queueing up to adopt 4 yr old cambodian/vietnamese boys and little african girls with potential HIV virus. Are you?
"they seem to be more into collecting these children than offering them a loving household" - there is absolutely no indication anywhere even in the gutter press that these children are not well and lovingly cared for and spend the majority of time with one or both of their parents.
I have explained to you that the speed of the adoptions are far more common in the US and she isn't alone in that. But you just don't want to hear that or any of the other points I made earlier eg about the difficulty of placing older asian boys in homes.
If it makes you feel better to dismiss all Ive said by accusing me of being superior rather than question your own views on adoption needing perfect, preferably poor and definitely not famous parents that get photographed, then please don't let my brutish ways disturb you. You may particualrly be disinclined to listen when I tell you that a photo and article of DS and I appeared in a national magazine
Alternatively you could take the view that there are three more children in the world tomight being tucked in by people who love them and will support them forever, three children who will get their grazes kissed, who will have favorite toys and their own clothes rather than taking whatever comes off the top of the pile, who will live on a more varied diet than maize/rice/potato (depending on country) with a waft of protein; three children whose family will know what they like to eat and what their favorite books are. Basically they will have a life that exists outside of four plain walls and they will be someone to someone.
If you still think AJ should not have adopted those children, however odd you think her life may be, then shame on you. But only in my own very humble opinion obviously.
