lets blame the media for this.............

I have to agree that the writer of the article is the person that has made adoption appear as shopping for babies. From actual interviews where Angelina has discussed her children, there has been no hint that she is "shopping for children", and for her to say that they are "looking at different countries", well to me that sounds rather logical as that is what we ALL have done to determine which country "fits" us best right now, and that can change over time. From what I have seen personally, Angelina has done a good job of showing people that these are her kids, and she loves them for who they are.

To me, the tone in the article should not be blamed on her (albiet she has her other issues), but should be attributed to the author, lets put the blame where it belongs! On the positive side, the content of the article does give the general public a small bit of insight into some of the differences between the different countries and their requirements (that is a very common question, "why Kaz and not China"?), so it does give just a bit of a feel for some of the differences.........just mho....
