is it true that Angelina and my Bradd are having a baby?

[Donbean]

Does any one have a link, i need evidence....

Social services seem to turn a blind eye to most things if you have the money. And yes - I still think a Hollywood marriage after 8 months, pregnant after 4, is probably destined to fail. Sorry.

[bundle]

does anyone else think Angelina Jolie = pointless?

agree, Suzy, that if she donated large wodge of her ill-gotten cash (making people sit through bad movies etc) to the fistula hospital in Addis Ababa then the quality of lives of women/children in Ethiopia would be much improved.

[suzywong]

indeed, bundle, indeed (been down to the One o CLock club on the heath lately?)

[sorrel]

"It's almost a reminder of the heath's hidden heroes" WTF?
I'm glad I didn't see it, I can imagine trying to peel the fragrant wong brothers off the legs as they try to shin up it

and back to brad and angelina, doesn't she have a contract that she won't get preggo while under contract to make 3 Tombraider films?

My friend has got pg twice 4 months into a relationship. First time it obviously didn't work out but she's still with the second one and the dd is 3.5 now.

Both her pregnancies were (sort of) accidents though. I'm interested in how you would be sure enough about someone after 4 months to start TTC. I'm not judging at all ndp - good luck to you and I'm sure these things have as much chance as any to succeed. But a baby doesn't really help a relationship and I like that initial couple of years where you want to have sex all the time so wouldn't want a baby getting in the way!! Or maybe I'm just more of a cautious person. i admire your courage!

[dillydally]

Suzywong asks: "would sponsorship of many children rather than ownership of two be a better thing"

The answer is, from my perspective as an adoptive mother of two children (Vietnam and Cambodia), they are two radically different things. You adopt (not own!) a child because you want to be a parent. The fact that you may have improved the future for that child and provided them with something that no amount of money can give them - a family - is a happy by-product of the adoption. If you want to be charitable, then yes, you find ways to support children in the country through supporting orphanages or children in families.

I never want the DDs to think that they were adopted because we woke up one morning and decided to do a good (if somewhat economically misdirected) deed. They were adopted because we wanted them.

Having said all that, there are a few adoptive parents whose adoptions are motivated entirely by altruism or religion. They mostly adopt special need or older children, which I respect.

And who knows what Angelina's motives are, but you can be pretty sure that her motives weren't thoroughly scrutinised by a social worker.

good post issymum.

that's the problem with people like Angelina, they pop in on (presumably) private jets, it's almost like a "shopping expedition", and as you say they don't have to jump through the hoops us mere mortals have to.

[aloha]

she seems a v loving parent to her son - why not to her daughter? We could all sponsor kids instead of having them but we want to be parents, why are we so suspicious of the motives of those who adopt? it's not as if bio-parents are always perfect.

[bundle]

I suppose it's because I know the lengthy and intrusive (rightfully so) that friends have gone through to adopt a child, and the (usually American) celebs seem (ok, these are my prejudices/interpretations) to breeze in/out and adopt just like that. or maybe that's just a reflection of the American system. My friend has chosen not to adopt again because she found it v tough (and would be easier 2nd time around apparently)

[bundle]

[aloha]

ah but that's just fun! he he!
