Mary Louise Parker's New Baby Girl

Bravo, Mary Louise Parker!!! Bravo. A child who can, most likely, look forward to a much brighter future than might otherwise have been the case. All those who haven't the guts to do the same will find a way to ridicule her compassion, by saying such idiot phrases as "holding the latest accessory to sweep Hollywood" followed by the unashamed racism of "a Third World baby." This baby is not "Third World." This baby is Mary Louise Parker's baby. And they are both members of a singular race, a singular family of homo sapiens.

Yes, I agree. That lovely little child is one heck of an improvement to the otherwise obscure life of Mary Louise Parker. Shhhhh, if this get's out, EVERYONE will be wanting one! Do you think I can I get one in mauve or chartreuse? I have these really cool pumps I want to accessorize.

I have no words for this- it's laughable. I'm tired of seeing these children treated like mascots. Plus, they get all the wealth & privileges that many of our American children (of all ethnicities) don't get.
Keep bringing more of these foreign black & asian babies to American soil & keep trying to kick the Latin/Hispanic ones out! How contradictory!!!

Awwwwwwwww how cute she is

I am trying to stay calm as I type this so I do not sound as ingnorant as most of you. As an adoptive mother who just returned from Ethiopia with our precious son, I find it ridiculous how you people can judge anyone who chooses to build thier family in whatever way they choose. How many of you KNOW that MLP adopted for publicity? How do you KNOW when she applied to adopt? Or what her motivations are? You actually think that she does not love this little girl? There are plenty of people in this country who are in the process or have adopted from Africa. Just because you happen to know of, oh, 3 of them, does not mean it is a Hollywood trend. It means that EVERYTHING in thier lives is made public. If I were famous, I am sure people would say the same about our family. But I am not, thankfully. Now my husband and I have the honor and the joy of raising our son. But we are raising him in a country where some people will say things that will hurt him, like the things you have said here. How do you think our children will feel when they hear people like you ASSUME that they are in fact, not loved by thier parents, and were only adopted because it was the cool thing to do in 07? I also wonder how many of you have gone through the process of trying to adopt in America. Do your research. It's not about impatience. It is a personal choice, and here in this land of the free, I had hoped we could all make that choice in peace and with a sense of community. I am a citizen of the world. No child deserves more than another simply because of where they were born. I hope at least one person takes me seriously and stops this awful TREND of judging our familes and saying things that will affect our children.
peace.

Why do so many people believe that only American children should be adopted?? Since when do only AMERICAN babies deserve the right to a family that loves them and food on their tables? Children are Children. Who are we to play God? Who cares if you adopt internationally or within your country, as long as a child is helped. Obviously, those that say such ignorant things know absolutely nothing about adoption and the crisis that faces such countries as those in Africa. I guess its a good thing you happened to be born in the US, otherwise people like you might want to prevent you from having a family. Aren't there better things to critisize than the GOOD that people are doing!

as a former foster parent of abused special needs kids from the United States and an adoptive mom of 4 children with special needs that were not born in the United States i would like to say that its extremely disrespectful to call any child an accessory. You should be ashamed. Adoption is a life long commitment, not a fad and should be carefully thought out before doing. In a perfect world, no child would have to leave their family of birth....but unfortunately this is not a perfect world. to make light of that fact is sad....really really sad. Lets hope we are all doing all that we can for children here and abroad.
