Mary Louise Parker's New Baby Girl

1. I applaud her for adopting a child, but can't these celebrities adopt American children? I don't get it. Children are not accessories dammit!

6. Don't call children acessories. You can't just give them back or throw them away when you don't care for them anymore. I'm sure these people put some thought into their actions. Good for her. I think it's an unselfish act. It takes guts; especially considering the criticism they'll face for adopting a child, and particularly, a black child from Africa.

7. She's (the baby) is adorable. Good for you Mary Louise. I just wish more people would adopt inside United States. There are so many beautiful children here waiting to be adopted.

8. Do you know how long it take to adopt a child in America, the process is VERY long! I think it great she adopted a baby from Africa, there poverty level is way below ours and they have more children in need. It’s not that our children of America are any less important but as terrible as our adoption system and our housing for orphans is it’s nowhere near as terrible as it is in countries like Africa.

13. Just because Africa and China have Baby Vending Machines at the airport doesn't mean they can't wait for an American baby. Some things are definitely worth waiting for. That is part of our "I need it now because I am too impatient society." So basically, screw the American kids because no one wants to wait for you.

14. Seeing all these rich white women with these African infants is a bit distastful, like they are adopting muts from the pound. Helping is great, if you want to help them get involved in projects that nurture them in their own culture, not rip them out of it. Plenty of American children need foster/adoptive famililies, as long as you don't want perfect white newborns. If you want to help for helps sake than adopt a mentally or physically challenged child from your own culture. I'll be glad when this Hwood fad runs its course. Its even worse than seeing them with tiny dogs.
