One has to wonder if this latest adoption of a child of Africa is signaling a trend and if so, what is it? Is it the trend to recognize the need to put money where mouth is?
Does it portend that babies can be for sale?
Like Edie to Saffie's mixed race baby, is it a fashion accessory?
And why do the children beome absorbed into the parent's culture and not a reversal? Why not adopt a child of another nationality, but move to his or her homeland instead?

the point would be that if one has money then anywhere you live is doable. Therefore if the best interests of the child are considered, it is possible that honoring the culture and homeland of that child for that child would be to live in the country of that child. Adopting the child is fantastic, but removing the child from that which is familiar even to the consciousness can be disconcerting and displacing.
Thanks for commenting.
