While I rather like the publicity that adoption is getting -- maybe encouraging more "regular" people to adopt -- I agree that it does seem more like it's for publicity than actually a desire to have a child. But I suspect that's the case with a lot of celebrities that get pregnant, too -- it's a huge trend to be a mom in Hollywood right now, from looking at the covers of the magazines I see in checkout lines.
Being a mom should not be a trend. It should be a lifelong commitment, and if celebrities are really committed to their kids, it's fine to have them -- whether by birth or adoption. Unfortunately, it seems like all too many of them are likely dumped with nannies and rarely see their parents.
