Ab abusu ad usum non valet consequential

I am becoming more and more wary of Americans and American celebrities going to “poor countries” and ‘adopting’ babies. Something about the process leaves me queasy, I think much of it is the whole feeling of something that is too easily acquired is not as easily prized.

I also look at some of the parents that are adopting and I am so nervous about how these kids will turn out…Angelina Jolie (remember the blood vial necklaces, the taking another woman’s man and the all around general craziness of her life plus her family history with her own dad) Madonna (do I have to list all the crazy things not least among them her adopting a British accent after spending only 2 weeks in Britain) and Michael Jackson…

This one needs its own paragraph…Now I do not know for certain if he ever diddled any of those kids that accused him, in fact I feel some of those were blatant lies: I do know that nothing on earth could persuade me to ever leave a kid at MJ’s house and that includes the kids of my enemies. In fact I am wary of even taking a kid with me if I went to MJ’s house and that would be with me there. But truth to ALL the rumors or not MJ is not at this point someone who should be able to get a child, yet he may soon adopt a new kid from the ‘third world’ because of course no reputable American agency would let him adopt here. By the way I find it hard to believe that he is dressing in drag and going out shopping.

Thing is, I am sure there is much good in programs that allow people to adopt children that are impoverished etc but in many ways I see so much potential for abuse and in so many of these stories I read that the celebrity was allowed to circumvent the rules by paying out high amounts of cash…it just worries me!
