Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie To Adopt A Pinoy Baby?  |
| |
| This is unsubstantiated rumor of course, which was originally floated around by the British tabloid The Daily Mail. According to the Daily Mail, Brangelina are now planning to adopt a Filipino child after they were rejected by Myanmar authorities in their bid to adopt a Burmese child. So what's your take on this? Personally, I'm still scratching my head on this whole Hollywood adoption thing. It's like a competition to them, dont'cha think so? At least between Madonna and Brangelina. Now I know they have all the money to adequately provide for a child. But if this rumor is true, it would be Brangelina's 7th or 8th child right? I'm a parent myself, to twin girls and most days they're quite a handful. So how in the world can Brangelina adequately provide the love, attention, and nurturing that 7 or 8 kids need? An orphan baby is best suited for a child-less couple, in my opinion, who can give all the undivided love and attention a baby needs. So I really hope, if indeed it's true that Brangelina wants to adopt a Pinoy baby, that the government authorities wouldn't be star-struck and simply allow the couple to swoop in and get a baby as easily as buying Slurpee in 7-11. Because adoption and parenting isn't easy. I hope Filipino authorities would strictly implement adoption rules and requirements even if the adopting couple are Hollywood celebs.

| | I also don't see the point. I mean, this is noble, of course, and it's very nice of them to take care of abandoned kids. But why not get children from their own country? Why do they have to fly somewhere else? If their purpose is sincere, then there's no need to fly in another country, 'coz there are a lot of abandoned kids or orphans in the US alone. | | | | | | |

| | It's good to hear that we know that many are children born here are neglected by their parents. We know that they can afford to adopt a child and they have adopted children already. They can support another child besides their 6 children. I'm not against adoption I think the future of the child is secure if the adoption of the couple might be happened. I recently hear the news that they secretly entered the Philippines this month to search for a the child to adopt. | | | | | | |

| | I hope they'll adopt me, lol. I've seen one of Brad Pitt interviewed, but I can't remember when was that, and one of the question is about the house that they were building somewhere in America, I think. He basically said that he want to build this house, so the kids would have a big chance to live normal and he also said that they were trying to give much time for their kids needs, I hope so. I am not a mother yet, but I know raising childrens are not easy and if this true, I just hope that they will give the love and attention that the kids needs. And I also hope that our government will do their home work before making a decision. I saw in the link and they said (ICAB) placement of Filpino children in a foreign families is a"last resort". | | | | | | |

| | Well with the wealth they both have they could be very well able to afford to get the needed things that their adopted children can have on their prospect. I think of all their adopted children none have yet been discovered to have been mistreated by them. US has one of the strictest Social Workers to watch on them I guess. With regards to Burmese people I think they are a very conservative and is under a dictatorial regime. Being an antyi American too adopting a Burmese child would not be very good image for Burmese Government. Well being a Filipino I guess there's a lot of really neglected children in here. Adoption centers are really full of kids and if these couple would indeed adopt a child I guess I would allow them for as long as they would undergo what an adopting parents would undergo. | | | | | | |

| | You may be right but if you would compare an orphaned child in skimpy orphanage would be given a better home abroad with only seven orphans to bear with than where he is right now living in a very crowded and ill facilities in our own orphanages. If only one is given the chance I think I would choose that child be given to teh couple than the child live in an orphanage in here. | | | |

| | Even so, I think our orphanages here are still way better than in Burma, India, or African nations. I remember Jessica Soho once did a documentary about Pinay surrogate mothers in Philippine orphanages just to highlight the sacrifices of these unsung heroes. The mere fact that majority of adoption cases in the Philippines involves Filipino couples rather than foreigners is a testament to the Filipinos' innate nurturing nature. We care for our own, unlike in other countries. We may be a poor country but at least we don't have a reputation as a prime destination for foreigners seeking adoption. On one side, it's nice that a celebrity couple would even consider adopting a Pinoy child. On the other side, we have got to question our own selves: have we become indifferent and apathetic that we don't care anymore about the plight of our abandoned kids? That would be the image we'd be showing to the world: that an American couple can travel the thousand miles to get here just to adopt a child while we can't even budge the few kilometers it takes to take care of our own. That's not true of course, because even poor Filipinos take care of abandoned neighbors. But a Hollywood couple jetting in to adopt a Pinoy kid would certainly project a different picture than the reality here. | | | |

| | Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are well known for their love of adopting children from overseas. I have a collection of costume dolls from around the world and they sit on my shelf not requiring any care. However the more children a couple adopt the less attention each one will get perhaps. I admire the stars that give a home to a child in the world that is unwanted. It was sad when I heard Madonna's application had been refused. In the case of Angelina Jolie I imagine the Burmese authorities must be tough. Sadly there are many unwanted children living in orphanages. Therefore it is wonderful when loving adoptive parents come along. Such news might encourage other couples to adopt. | | | | | | |

| | OMG! These two are unstopable. I agree with you spoiledbrat802. It is very difficult to tend on a thousand children with different cultural backgrounds. It is very crucial that these give would be given the proper nurturing and caring. How can a mom and dad who is frequntly in the limelight and travelling around the world will be able to do that. The perks of having the best toys and dress is good but what about the social development of the kids... | | | | | | |
