Celebrities adopting children
Some say that celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Madonna adopted their children because they wanted to attract public attention. It sounds absurd for me because they do not need it. It is enough for them to go outside for shopping and they are followed by crowd of journalists and fans. I believe that celebrities adopting children do not have any selfish or bad intentions. They just want to have a child. I am glad that several orphans found homes after Madonna and Angelina Jolie adopted their children. They set an example adopting children from poor countries. Many Americans followed them and adopted children from poor countries too. And it is not fashion. Celebrities helped to draw attention of Americans to impoverished countries and their problems. And one of the main problems is large number of orphans. Their adoption is a temporary solution for this problem. I said temporary because these poor countries should take care of their children and they can not always give them away. When impoverished countries are able to decrease number of orphans and improve living conditions, international adoption is no longer needed. But up to that moment we need only welcome it.
