Adoption Emma Thompson

EMMA THOMPSON IS NOT A TYPICAL ACTRESS

We love Emma Thompson, for quietly and without fanfare, adopting a desperate teenager from Rwanda and giving him a life and a future. The photo above shows proud Emma and her husband Greg Wise at the graduation ceremony at the University of Exeter where her adopted son Tindy got his degree. Tindy (real name Tindyebwa) was an orphan and child soldier who fled Rwanda when he was sixteen. With Emma’s guidance he learned English and has excelled in school. He plans to get a Masters degree in politics.

PAMELA ANDERSON AND THE PRINCELY BROTHEL OWNER

Pamela Anderson is hanging out with some questionable types in Europe. She hosted the “Blonde is Beautiful” night at the new VIP Club in Frankfurt which is owned by a guy named Marcus Prinz Von Anhalt (Above, ogling Pam.) He’s a former butcher who now owns over twenty brothels and clubs in Germany, and has spent four years in prison for human trafficking and tax evasion. In 2006 he bought his title by paying a LOT of money to be adopted by Zsa Zsa Gabor’s husband, Prince Frederick Von Anhalt, who also became a prince by adoption. When this “adopted son” is in LA, he lives with Zsa Zsa and her prince. Imagine adopting a 40 year old man.

Adoption Denial Madonna Malawi Mercy James

MERCY IS BETTER OFF WITH MADONNA

If Malawi officials really stick to their guns and refuse to allow Madonna to adopt Mercy James, it’s really a travesty and a crime against the little girl. (Mercy, above, is holding hands with Lourdes.) The welfare of this child should be considered first and bureaucracy and prejudices set aside. What chance does this child in an orphanage have if she remains in the poorest country in South Africa? It’s an AIDS ridden place where women have few rights, are routinely beaten by their husbands, and their life expectancy is 38. Regardless of what one thinks of Madonna, her children are well taken care of and educated. Give Mercy a chance for a life.

Adoption Fanny Pack Kids Lourdes Ciccone Leon Madonna Malawi

MADONNA AND HER FANNY PACK WON'T LEAVE AFRICA WITHOUT MERCY

Madonna’s visit to Malawi is going to take a few days longer than expected because there are objections to her quick adoption of the four year old girl named Mercy that Madonna selected. Madonna brought her other kids Rocco, David, and Lourdes, along for the ride, and they are pictured above at the child care center in Malawi. Judging from the look on her face, this was not how Lourdes hoped to spend her Easter vacation. We never thought we’d see Madonna wearing a fanny pack!

Adoption Calista Flockhart Harrison Ford Kids

HARRISON FORD IS A HERO AT HOME, NOT JUST AT THE MOVIES

Harrison Ford was right where you’d expect to find him on Father’s Day – at his son Ben’s restaurant Ford’s Filling Station in Culver City. And, of all the cute things – Ford was wearing a Father’s Day T shirt made by Calista’s little boy Liam. It said “The Best Dad in the World.” Awhile back, Ford announced his intention to adopt Liam and may have already done so. Harrison has four grown children from his first two wives.

Adoption Madonna

STOP PICKING ON MADONNA

We think Madonna is more of a HERO in this adoption situation than she’s getting credit for. Maybe it wasn’t a great idea to adopt a baby with a living parent, but as the baby’s father has said “If my son stayed here I would end up burying him.” Nobody’s talking about thirteen month old David’s health, but the fact is, he’s ill, and AIDS is quite probably the reason. The disease is ravaging Malawi and may have killed David’s mother. David is just recovering from PNEUMONIA , and according to Madonna, has not been tested for HIV. Madonna has always been a huge AIDS activist , so it makes sense for her to take in an HIV baby – a far bigger challenge than most adoptive parents face. She’s giving this sick child nobody else wants, a chance at a good life, so give her some credit!
