    A CHILD IS A CHILD, NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE FROM . SAYING OTHERWISE IS JUST BIGOTRY. ADOPT A CHILD: ANY SIZE, SHAPE, COLOR OR ETHNICITY; FROM ANY COUNTRY!!!

    Good lord, what the hell is with all the "it's good that she actually adopted an AMERICAN child" comments?! You ignorant vultures; if you're so concerned about people that you don't even know adopting kids from other countries, why don't YOU take the time to adopt an American kid yourself and stop complaining? Anyway, good for Nia because she adopt

    Excellent! More couples should follow their example and adopt/foster instead of insisting on having biological children. There are millions of homeless/poor/neglected kids all over the world who need parents. Humans need to slow down the breeding and stop poisoning our overburdened, toxic planet. There are way more than enough of us to go around!
