May I just mention that I think that you all mean that anyone giving birth with no intervention.

I'm having medical treatment to concieve (so object to the phrase "anyone can pop one out" - but that's my issue & I know where you're coming from. X) and we've gone through a lot of questioning/councilling (& not just to see if we can afford treatment).

Ok, so we've not been finger-printed (yet - isn't that for when I go psycho & nick a baby? Maybe I can have Britny's coz I won't be out drinking every night! Ok, no those kids are just plain ugly... And that's another question completely unrelated to the topic - how come those boys are SO ugly? Babies are normally usually reasonable not B***-Ugly....) but having been examined extenally, internally etc. my questions is "what other hoops do we have to jump through next??"

I also don't think that Madame Jolie has thought about this as her skanky arse seemed to get preggers just in time to stop Brad from running off. She obviously had no problem - oh - sorry, I forgot about how many men she was doing at the time, so she must have had a lot of ***** in her........

Sorry. Will sit quietly now... but she really does grind my sh*t! And I used to like her! She's just ... so.... santimonius!

Of course, silly me! I'm a little slow this afternoon

Well some whackjobs must still make it past the *adoptive test* because you hear of adoptive parents molesting the child/children all the time.

coughwoodyallencough.

And what about Wacko Jacko? Apparently it is quite easy for a rumored pedophile to adopt if he forks over enough cash. Nothing will ever make me believe he's the biological father of those two little blond white children.

Nice point. I forgot about that sick puppy.
Jolie fails to mention that the tests also involve seeing how much is in your bank account and how many more $$$ you can hand them on the side to speed up the process.

Yeah! The voice of reason!!!!! Of just honesty?

Still think she's a whack-job.... she's hiding something, something big!!!!

It'll all come out in 20 years when Maddoz finally writes his "mommy dearest" from re-hab!

(Having just seen the post with her photos, I still think that physically she's very attractive, but what the f*ck is going on in her head?)

I agree most people go through very stringent questioning to adopt, not so much to foster where most of the molesting takes place. However.........Angelina adopted in a foreign country where they probably don't know what a looney she is, and she probably greased the wheels with money. Christ they let Madge adopt!

Biatch · December 20th, 2006, 07:14 PM

The quote used in this "article" was taken out of context.
It's clear that she "gives her opinion" about "how hard it's the process of adoption" she doesn't "Insist" on the "Who is more fit to raise a child".
There are unfit parents and unfit adopters.
Personally,I see around more bad parents tho, as adopters tend to really want the child and strive to give a kid a good home.

To each his own.

They just took this "quote" and turned it so they add their "personal" bruaha to the bruahaha

.

Oh, the times we've been told "make a mole out of a molehill and you'll get the readers"...

Anyway....Jackson was sqyeezed of sperm (eww) and then the stuff was planted in Debbie.He never adopted.
And Madge went to Malawi, where they had 5 adoptions in 2 years!!That's why the heat was on her &her agency--FIY , celebs use agencies to deal with the country's counterparts..It's the US agency's fault they didn't check properly a corrupt adoption organization, not the celeb's.Their lawyers, agencies and accountants deal with the legal details.

MJ's kids are not biologically his. I don't think they used his sperm at all.

You have to have a licence to drive a car, but anyone can have a baby.

And in some cases, adoptive parents are better parents because they really wanted the kid. That can be the case for biological parents too, but in some circumstances, it's not.

I kinda get where she's coming from but...

a) she makes herself look like a sanctimonious prat by saying it publically like this

b) it's all a bit holier than thou (stealing husbands, snogging brothers etc!)

Reptillycus · December 21st, 2006, 02:34 AM

Government or a private agency has no business screening people for biological parenthood. Society does that, and religion, and family pressures. Do you really want a political agency or private corporation deciding if and when YOU have children?

If Angelina's past behavior was looked at by an adoption agency, they didn't do a very good job.

Maybe they just looked at her bank accounts...

PrettyGirl · December 21st, 2006, 02:37 AM

I think she's right....all parents should be screened and parenthood shouldn't come easy. Children are gifts from God. There are a lot of people who can make babies but there are few people who are actually good parents. A lot of people don't deserve children.

I agree emotionally, but rationally that's impossible to enforce. As much as I sometimes wish for all junkies/pedophiles/neglecters/rapists to be sterilized, I know it wouldn't be right at all. Eventually, I'm glad it's not for us to decide.

Mel1973 · December 21st, 2006, 07:02 AM

A) if she really believes this, when will she be putting Shiloh up for adoption.

B) Remember that movie Parenthood? Loved when Keanu said something to the effect of "you need a license to drive a car, hell you need a license to fish, but they'll let any asshole be a parent".

sasha89 · December 21st, 2006, 08:05 AM

Um. Yeah. We just had a huge news story in my area about an adopted child being murdered with a hammer at the hands of his adoptive mother and then the father hiding the body in a marsh and claiming the child ran away, resulting in a massive search using my tax dollars. The child had been suffering abuse for years. Parenting has everything to do with the parent. Some can do it and some can't or shouldn't. A background check doesn't insure anyone that someone is going to be a better parent. A lot of people can look good on paper and have the house cleaned up when some tells them exactly what time they are coming over to do a home study. What a stupid thing for Angelina to say.
