You know, the kind of kid who has absolutely zero chance of ever having a home.

Really...if you have all that money and you really truly want to make a difference, you would not just BUY one child, you would start a home for as many children as possible. Or else just admit that you went to a country, picked out a baby that didn't clash with your interior and bought it. That's okay to....NOT. Of course this is in no way a criticism to adoption or people who adopt. Just to rich dorks who think that kids are toys. Isn’t it a bad bad thing when children are used as a “have to have” item?

I think there's also the factor that by adopting a child who's parents are eternally indebted to you because you are a great white person who's 'rescued' their child, they won't raise a ruckus with claims to the child later on. Whereas, 'crack-addicted' US babie's mothers might want their baby back or worse demand oodles of money later on. Wow, good post.
