White Celebs, Black Babies, Pt. 2

I previously posted a blog about White Celebrities Adopting Black Babies in March of this year.  I featured A-list celebrities that had biological children, as well as adopted children from other races, specifically, of African or African American descent.  Madonna, Angelina Jolie and Steven Spielberg are a few that graced the list.  Fast forward to the end of the year and there are new white celebs with black babies.

Mariska Hargitay, best known for her role on NBC's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is one of the most recent white celebs to adopt black babies.  She has a biological child that she birthed in 2006 and also adopted a baby girl in April of this year, as well as a baby boy in October.  Check out the pics of her beautiful new family below:



Next on the growing list of white celebs to adopt black babies is FX's American Horror Story star, Connie Britton (which is my favorite show on TV by the way).  Connie is best known for her roles on Friday Night Lights and Spin City and is most recently known for adopting a baby boy from Ethiopia in November of this year.  Below are pics of her and her son Eyob "Yoby" Britton:



JUST PRECIOUS!!!!

As I said in the previous post White Celebs, Black Babies, I am not in a position to judge whether these adoptions are just a fad or ploy for publicity and attention.  My main concern is that another African or African American orphan now has a home and a loving family to provide and care for them.  Many people criticize actresses like Connie and Mariska for adopting children from other races, but I applaud them for being brave enough to adopt outside of their racial comfort zones by giving a needy child a loving home that they truly deserve and at the end of the day, that's all that matters!!!!

WEIGH IN
Are you personally against individuals adopting babies of a different racial/ethnic background than their own?
Do you think these celebs are adopting African children to help their image?
Would you ever consider adopting a child?
Would you ever adopt a child of another race/color/nationality than your own?

    I feel this is such beautiful trend. People have been adopting across racial lines for years but it was usually asian babies, but now this trend of adopting African or African-American babies is just very refreshing.

    I'm tired of watching white people carry black babies around like some kind of accessory.

    Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied
    on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why waste your
    intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be
    giving us something informative to read?

    First off I want to say great blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
    I was interested to know how you center yourself and
    clear your thoughts prior to writing. I've had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints? Many thanks!

    I do not know if it's just me or if everyone else encountering problems with your site. It looks like some of the written text in your content are running off the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This could be a issue with my internet browser because I've had this happen before.
