Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt may be bringing their new son home within the next few weeks. Adoption officials in Ho Chi Minh city have said that they are procesing Jolie's application quickly because of the age of the boy (he's three and a half) and because his files were nearly complete before Jolie began the adoption process.

hhmmmm....I wonder why it didn't make national news when my sister and her husband adopted a little boy whose father and mother had died of AIDS.....yes, right here in the good ole USA. I wonder why a local doctor and his wife (who couldn't have children of their own) didn't make national news when they adopted a couple of children from another country.....I guess they just weren't "celebrity" enough.

IMHO, it's something of a fad to show concern for humanity. But I hope it goes deeper than that.
Actually, there's a market for adoptable children just like there is for most other things. The largest market segment is for white infants--or those who can pass for it, maybe under three years old. [Add your own comment.] Older children and bi-racial (black/white parents) are harder to place. Don't know how it is now, but a while back many state agencies refused to place bi-racial children with white families.
Plus adoption is expensive. Your friendly IRS (both federal and most state) considers it a service and not tax deductible.
In days of old, it was a normal thing for unwed young mothers to place their children for adoption. Now the "style" leans more to them raising the children themselves. More tolerant, certainly; better for the children, I dunno.
