With a name like Olivia, she must be black but who cares, she will be loved just the same.

African American- whatever happened to just saying ‘black’ ? Anyone else notice this ? It only took what- 20 years to get people trained into this forced knee-jerk PC guilt mouthful of words when ‘black’ covered it all.

What if the person was from Jamaica and not from Africa at all? Is it still okay to call them African American instead of Jamaican American ? There’s also a lot of white people native to Africa- shouldn’t they likewise be considered African American when they immigrate to this country ?

I’m just looking for some logic here, people. A little rationale.

Although there are lots and lots of kids here in the US who could use good homes (especially older kids in foster care), I don’t see why there is anything wrong with adopting internationally so long as you aren’t adopting just for publicity.

I read she adopted an American baby, from the LA area. Good for her. There are too many kids HERE without a home or a family (to love them AND scream at them) and that just sucks.

I’d love to adopt some “unadoptable” American siblings if I could one day. Hence, I toke an occassional J and it prohibits me from doing so. Why not quit, well boozers can adopt, tobacco smokers can adopt, pill poppers can adopt…you get what I’m saying here.

Koreamom,

I don’t have to starve a kid to know it isn’t the right thing to do- quit adjusting your halo and deliberately missing the point.

Vdantev, How many children have you adopted domestically?
BTW I did read it was reported she adopted an African American child from LA.

Koreamom,

I think he’s trying to express my often felt frustration that these celebs always seem to want to adopt their kids from some third world desert fly-infested rat’s nest some 300 million miles away, when there are plenty of kids living in deplorable conditions here in America needing adoption.
