I’m very shocked that people are questioning Angelina’s motives for adopting children…if she kept getting pregnant, noone would question her motives
MADDOX WANTED A BROTHER OR SISTER FROM AFRICA, SO THAT’S WHY SHE WENT TO AFRICA TO ADOPT…
how come everytime someone does something good to benefit someone else, people always want to question their motives
I remember when the story came out about Diddy losing that $11 million necklace, EVERYBODY AND THEIR MAMA was talkin about how Diddy should take that $$ and help those less fortunate…now hear we have Angelina, WHO TAKES HER $$ AND HELPS THOSE LESS FORTUNATE, and people want to question her motives
AMAZING…but I know…EVERYBODY’S ENTITLED TO THEIR OPINION
I LOVE angelina! At least she is adopting a black child that needs a home, unlike Oprah’s selfish ass!Zahara is SO cute! look at her little shoes..she is going to be even more beautiful when she gets older. Who was the idiot talking about just somalia and ethiopia having the most beautiful people? what an ignorant statement! I have seen beautiful people in other parts of africa, not just those. are u just saying that b/c of lighter skin or textured hair? please educate yourself and erase the color lines you have against your own people..its 2006!
Maybe you can educate yourself before calling Oprah selfish.
Oprah is doing more for children than adopting one or two.
Did you ever watch her shows, she has said over and over again that raising children is the most difficult job in the world. I know because i have three, and i respect somebody who knows how difficult it is and question thereself if they are able to do it right, than somebody who goes and adopt children just because it´s fashion.
Like i said before i like Angie but clearly you can see that the woman is not stable, wearing blood from her husband around her neck(Billy Bob) Kissing her brother in public on the mouth and saying that she is so in love with her brother. Her relationship with her father. I mean….come on girl if you can say and do all this things in public, what do you do in the privacy of your home!!!
^^^what do you mean she’s not stable..she seems perfectly stable…dont let society rule you mind on what’s “right” and “wrong”…..one thing I love about Angelina is that she’s always with her children, you rarely she her with a nanny…especially when it was only her and Maddox…unlike some other mom’s *cough* Shar Jackson *cough*
@ #82, it sounds like your judging Angelina based on things she’s done in her past…
ever since she adopted Maddox, she stopped doing all those things…she has even said herself, that when she became a mother, she stopped doing things like that because she has responsibilities now…
just because she choses not to have a relationship with her father, doesn’t mean that she’s unstable…
she’s been very upfront about her life when she was growing up, and she’s said that her relationship with her father was rocky at times
LOT’S OF PEOPLE CHOSE TO NOT HAVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR PARENTS, SO THAT THEY CAN BEEEEEEEEEEE STABLE AND REMAIN STABLE
I don’t like some things Oprah has done, but that woman is definitely NOT Selfish!!!!!!!!! She helps not only inform people of important issues in the world but provides them with the right niceties on her show, radio station, magazine ect. She has give the crowd cars, jewerly…. you name it came from the kindness of her heart. She has also given millions to Africa. That woman is a kind hearted soul so don’t try to make her seem like Paris Hilton or someone who only cares about themselves (the true meaning of being selfish)……okay!?
Mezzo-Soprano: Girl, I wasn’t gonna say it, but you took the words outta my mouth. The woman is known for stealing folk’s men. Umm, hello???
#80, you said that Maddox wanted a brother or sister from Africa and that’s why she adopted Zahara. Umm, I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t seem like a good reason to adopt a child. I’m glad my mama didn’t have me so my sister could have a playmate!
JoAn: I ain’t no big Oprah fan, but thanks for breaking it down! Oprah is helping way more than two kids and you don’t adopt no kids cause you think you ought to! That’s a huge job, and if she ain’t ready, it’s better for her not to do it.
I’m_not_her: Naw, I don’t think we can compare Angelina to Josephine. Josephine came from absolutely nothing, in a time filled with racism, and chose to adopt children of all nationalities waaaaaaaaay before it was seen as “cute” to do so. Two different levels.

——————————–
uh why does that make her unstable? because she deviates from the norm? at least she has her own mind and her actions are not dictated by others…
in no way am i advocating anything she does in her personal life, but who am I or anyone else to judge…
the fact of the matter is she is walking the walk and not just talking about it
who cares what color she is and who in her family she doesnt communicate with or whatever other nonsense…
two less children are now freed from hunger and sickness
and for those who are talking about her being a husband stealer
it takes two to tango and obviously Brad knew the dance well
And Zaharah’s hair also, skin, cultural upbringing/identity is a real issue. Yes greatfully Angelina saved them from dier situations but race and identity are REAL issues that will not easily looked over or put aside as those kids grow up w/ white parents.
@49 She might have been born Muslim due to the region she is from she also has a Muslim/Arabic name Zahara=flowers. If Angelina raises her in her native religion…which I wpuld hope she would, she could wear a hair covering but not until she’s a woman.
zahara is gorgeous and love her name!
plus i have to rep west africa, now thats the heart of the mother land!
anyway…my frend whose mixed believes white women shouldn’t be allowed to have “our children” these are her words not mine! as for Angelina i really admire wat shes done, she seems really passionate bout everthing she does. my oncly concern for zahara and other babies raised by white mothers is the hair thing.
i know it sounds crazy but in london i see soo many mixed babies who have never gon near a comb before. there mothers think its ok to hav what som people see as blak children and not hav the audacity to learn about our haircare! it really ticks me off. if ure gonna hav blak/mixed babies, please learn to comb their hair, or just take them to a blk hair salon!
i hope angelina gets zahara a hair stylist or learns to cornrow lol.

Good point Shannon!
Maybe she’s beefing up her Humanitarian efforts due to the fact that she is known for sleeping with people’s husbands.
Anywho, I am going to check out this turtlesale.com website. I think my son would love to have one.
