I don't have any doubts about the sincerity of Mary-Louise's intentions. The child is extremely lucky to have her as a mother.

I would ask anyone who would say otherwise, if the child would have been better off in Africa with an extremely uncertain future that might might include abuse, hunger, poverty, disease, and a plethora of other unfortunate scenarios?

This girl will more than likely have a very good future here, and with a mother who can give her more advantages than she could possibly ever imagine as an orphan in sub-Saharan Africa, she will probably realize a wonderful life.

This is the thing..

Angelina has Asian kids, yet everyone is focused on the African girl.

Madonna was on mission work when she adopted David.

Mary Louise adopts in Africa and people are going crazy.

Meg Ryan adopted a child in China.. You here nothing.

The biggest amount of adoptions come from China, Russia and South America, yet an African child gets adopted and all hell breaks loose..

American people are a joke!

I would rather see these publicity hounding celebrities move to other countries and stay with their adopted children in their homeland.

I am sure those people would love for us Americans to leave their countries and STEAL in our own lands!

Yes it is fine and caring to adopt children abroad, but again just what is the problem with the american adoption system that make people go overseas or to Mexico?

Maybe they want to help out a place that is more horrific than here.

I don't see why you are bothered. What are you doing for American kids??

Some of you are such kissass' it's not even funny. Of course they do this sort of thing for attention. They love this sort of stuff. Why do you think they continue to portake in these endeveaurs(sp)? I will say at least she kept it under wraps unlike that skank Madonna!

Easy for you to say but regardless they have taken on a huge responsibility and it is wonderful that they did so.

Well the attention seekers are helping some poor child that might have died of malaria or some dreadful ailment. So there!

Adoption is a good thing. PERIOD.
Children in need are in need of help. PERIOD.
Geography should not matter to us as long as the
children become members of good families.
Celebrity adoptions usually make the news so we find
out information we shouldn't need to know.
Rosie's adopted children are all Americans.
If you feel so strongly write to her supporting her
choice though why do you really care about the
geography?

Her children are loved and have a fine home.
PERIOD.

Write to Congress promoting better education on family planning so fewer children will be born when they are not loved nor wanted.

Well, since there aren't any children in America that need adopting, she HAD to go to Africa to adopt her child.

What? You mean to say there ARE kids in America that need adopting?

Huh.

Wonder why these stars aren't adopting here? Maybe adopted kids from America aren't trendy enough. Perhaps these kids need a better marketing team.

I love this dumb excuse..

A child in an orphan home in America gets 3 square meals, clothed, and a chance at life. Have you ever seen an orphanage in Africa? Some of those kids don't even make it out alive!

Stop with the ignorance already!

Mary-Louise is a wonderful actress and an amazing human being.. That little girl is very lucky!

Stupid stupid argument.

Children are children. Regardless of where they live. Unless you have adopted an American child, quit b*tching when someone adopts someone from another country. Geez

I have adopted two American children,and I find the fact that attention whore celebrities ignore the suffering in America,unless it gains them publicity,to be pretty fucked up.

Sorry, but Portnoy's Complaint (I couldn't resist) is legitimate... And, no, I haven't adopted a special needs child: My income could cover only two children, and my wife and I had two biologically-related children

It does SEEM as though this has become a "fashion statement" of sorts from, in my opinion, generous, well-meaning and good-hearted people. It's not unreasonable to wonder why someone would travel to another continent when there are children right here who need homes

Good for her! Anyone who has the means should adopt, from any country.
