If a girl was handed a stack of profiles, and Oprah happened to be one of them, who do you think a girl would probably pick?-Oprah, who has everything, or Jim and Debbie Middleclass?

I am sorry, but that isn't fair. You assume most pbmoms pick couples who are rich. Sure, lots of times financial security is something pbmoms look for in a couple, but that doesn't mean they have to be rich. When I was chosing a family for my son, I wanted someone who could afford to have a stay at home parent, but that was just one part of the selection process....I also looked at who could provide emotionally, etc for my child. If I were the pbmom in your situation who had "Oprah's" information in front of me (you assume I would pick her). Well no I wouldn't....she is too committed to her job, etc. So no I wouldn't pick her because she was a celebrity. Would I want my child in the public eye? Nope.
Please don't minimize the process and heartache a pbmom goes through in selecting a family for her child.
