Queen Latifah: I'll Adopt, But I'm No Madonna

31. There are lots of children needing to be adopted. It doesn't matter whether they're black, white, striped, polka dotted or are from the U.S. or not. Just adopt because your heart is in it 100%, and for the right reasons.

34. i dont listen to queen latifah, but i've seen interviews and movies she has done dramatic, comedic, action and i've watched her music vids, and i think she is a smart, talented,beautiful woman. and who gives a flying f*** if she is gay? i watched an episode of wife swap last week that set up a lesbian couple with a straight couple and the women partners were wonderful ,well adjusted with smart, polite kids, and the straight family were a bunch of bully dumb ass jocks who constantly insult each other! where does sexuality come in when it comes to raising a stable family?

38. i think thats a wonderful idea, theres so many little ones who need a home, and a large number of these little one are from the hood....and i believe they deserve a fair start in life....i was adopted by a couple who were unable to have children, i was just lucky to have been adopted by my grandmothers nephew and his wife so i was able to stay in the family , now i didn't find out about this until i was 17yrs-old....couldn't have had a better life, now i planning on adopting in the near future......we should help in any way we can, these children deserve a fair shot at life........

39. Deciding where to adopt a child from is a very personal decision. No one should ever tell a person where to adopt from, just as no one should tell a woman where, when or how to have her biological child.

40. it's about time someone wanted to adopt in their own backyard or country!! Our country may be richer than most but that doesn't mean every person in the U.S.

41. I think a lot of people are ignorant about how difficult it is to adopt children here in the States. Even though there are so many children in need, the laws to qualify for a child are so stringent, that it's nearly impossible. Also, it's even more difficult to adopt a child when the hopeful parent is single. I work in Child Services and I agree, there are a lot of children right here who need good homes. Unfortunately for prospective parents and these children, adoption in America is a lot of bureaucratic red tape and complications, especially if the birth parents are still alive. Also, there are many states that will not let gay people adopt (which is completely unfair and detrimental), and those rumors about her sexuality coupled with her single status are a double-negative for her. Adopting American is not an easy task, and I sincerely wish her the best of luck in her endeavors. As for Angelina Jolie and Madonna, they should be commended for adopting a child--any child in need--and not ostracized. The fact of the matter is, with their wild pasts they probably would never be able to adopt an American orphan.

42. Who cares about Quenn Latifah! Why doesn't she also come out of the closet? And go back and live in "tha hood" while she's at it...

43. I appluad the Queen for choosing to adopt American! I have been saying this for years it is nice to help other countries but why can't we fix home first. We have homeless children, children in orphanges all over the world. It is time that Hollywood gives back to those who really support their lifestyles!

44. I agree highly with Queen Latifah, so many kids in our Country needing to be adopted
Not critisizing Madonna, but geez all the homeless ,hungry kids in our Country

But thats why were over in Iraq now, helping another country when we still have many issues, race,poverty,etc.
Big ups to Queen Love ya
