Denise Richards adopts a baby domestically

[nuthinbutpink]

My first thought was she "got her boy" but I was SO WRONG because she adopted a girl taking her count from 2 to 3. A better question is how do these celebrities have such an easy time adopting domestically?!

No kidding. I hear its an at least 3 year process. Maybe they just started a long time ago? BUT the bigger question is how, as a single woman could she adopt so easily? That's usually a huge hurdle.

I think it is great of the famous people to adopt... it takes a lot more heart to parent a child that is nnot realted through blood.

Denise - always seemed like the type of person who only wants girls.

And the ones with the BG twins. Well I know from a friend who works for a certain famous lady who has a ton of kids... They wanted BG twins because they were planning to end their family that way. They wanted the family to be even or equal amounts of each gender. If they do happen to have/adopt anymore kids they plan to keep it even or balanced.

If I had tons of money I would have 2 of each gender.

Purple, is that Angelina Jolie? LOL I have a friend who dances for Mariah Carey and she had IVF, although did not know about PGD, but said she had lots of m/c on tour, and is like 42, so this was her only shot. Of course, I am super happy for her and all of them that have healthy little ones. And you are so right, adopting is a wonderful thing. I wish it would be easier to adopt....for those who are well-intended, of course! So many teenage pregnancies that could go to desperate parents, but so expensive and so difficult. I don't know too much about it, but I do have a few friends who adopted out of USA and it took ages and tons of money!

I agree, I'd love 2 girls and 2 boys.

I am not allowed to use names

I didn't know that about Mariah.... after a lot of m/c I would do anything to have a baby, if I didn't already have two. Mariah really only had one last chance with her age.

The celebs are waiting so long to have kids that I can see why they would go for BG twins.

Lolainlove - you would have adorable boys even if they are half as cute as your girls. And your girls will need dancing partners!

That's probably why she wanted to adopt...She's probably scared her other two girls are tainted with "Winning"'s DNA and she just wanted a normal one, lol.

I always thought I'd get preggers once just to experience it and then adopt the rest...Then I saw the price tag on a run-of-the mill adoption and quickly changed my mind! PP - I too would love 2 of each gender...Everyone would have a sis & bro so everyone wins!
