In thinking about the number of celebrities who have adopted orphans outside of the United States, I am moved to think what about the orphans in the United States? What is the attraction for importing orphans rather than reduce the number in our own country? Would it not serve this country’s interest by adopting some of the many orphans here? As a matter of practicality folks who are able should be in the forefront to adopt in this country and not outside of it. As I see it there is less fanfare in adopting here than in another country and certainly these adoptions would be of more benefit here. These celebrities generate large amounts of personal money through their work in their medium and other large amounts for causes they believe in yet they take the odd route of adopting outside the country that they reside in. Their help in adopting may not necessarily greatly reduce the orphanage head count but it certainly would assist in helping some of the neediest here at home.
