Mary Louise Parker joins the crusade to save an African. I shouldn’t be so cynical, what’s wrong with celebrities adopting children of third world countries as if they were the new accessories of the season. I should look at the bottom line, and see the wonderful things these celebrities are doing. Maybe I don’t have a problem with white celebrities adopting children of color, maybe I have a problem with black celebrities not adopting any. I know there are kids here that need a home, too, but why do black celebrities shy away from adopting African children. Or maybe I’m just upset because I can’t find out what country this child is from. It just says Africa, like it’s one big country or something. Overall I think it’s a good thing, I just question the motives behind the trend. We’ll see how it works out in 10 years or so, when Mommy Dearest the sequel is made.

sad to say, i think this is a fad. all i can think of is the gazillion kids here that need a home. but no, the celebs just have to adopt form another country. impressing is the one that helps thy neighbor.
