The point is, which you are missing badly, is that this smacks of an adoption for all the wrong reasons. Is adopting children as a publicity stunt something we should encourage? Are you so base as to believe that any adoption, so long as it is from Third World to First is a good thing, even if it is to parents who regard the child as a prop rather than a human being?

"Are you so base as to believe that any adoption, so long as it is from Third World to First is a good thing, even if it is to parents who regard the child as a prop rather than a human being? "

Where would you rather grow up, in a third world hellhole with no money, no education, no opportunities and no parents, or in the US or England, with money, education, and opportunities and no parents, or adoptive parents who don't care about you?
