Well not really much to add here as this was superbly written. I can say that this was definitely what I was looking for though. I can't count how many times I have looked on a blog for something and came up with something completely unrelated like searching for work boots and coming up with high heels, or something like that. You know, while we are on the topic of this industry, you have to admit that it is becoming more and more diluted with a bunch of BS rather than quality information such as this article. I will definitely add this one to my list of RSS feeds. I just hope you keep it updated more often than you are right now, hah! Anyways, have a nice day and nice post.

wow what a bunch of pessimistic old cows we have here.. of COURSE she did it for publicity, no one would ever adopt a black baby out of the goodness of their heart!

as a young black woman who was adopted by a single white (well Jewish- but still) woman, I say good for Sandra! we need more people like her in the world.

Coming from a rainbow tribe, we used to imagine what it would be like to get adopted by a rich white lady… ***she’d be an old white lady and rich and buy us stuff and clean stuff and and cook us funny sandwiches with no crust and be negligent and buy us stuff***. he’s so doomed and lucky.
His ‘kiss my black a$%’ expression is amazing.
But what these celebrities don’t get is that all of these adopted babies will eventually learn to talk…an angsty black teen with a plethera of complexes, a shit ton of money and an identity crisis is recipe for hollywood disaster.

for a moment there Hammie, you got me thinking “is baby photo-shopped on Bollocks?”. That was a scary though….

A better late than never comment: I’ll bet Bullock got that baby the same place S. Palin got hers. Babybrokersrus. And now we shall call the series of events leading up to the adoption revelation “Sandra’s wild ride.”

This reminds me of being at high school and wanting a beautiful black American baby. I went to highschool in a wasp/catholic mining town in southern Australia.
Maybe this was Sandra’s dream, maybe tis why Jesse strayed- he needed a whore now Sandy was a Madonna.

But don’t do a cover Sandy- is it photoshopped?

Its hard to know what to believe when it comes to media, and it sure is easy to make assessments and assumptions based on limited information.

I have never cared for the Sandra Bullock persona, or her acting, but I don’t know the real person behind her image. I hope that that baby was in fact placed in a loving home.

I think adoption is wonderful. And I really don’t think this is some sort of quick fix PR stunt. I’m happy that the child has found a loving home. And what a cute baby!

I second H. on the bris issue. This stunt, apparently pulled because Sandra couldn’t leave the house with her baby to get him circumcised in a hospital and therefore had to rely on a rabbi, has led the rags to gossip that Sandra’s Opera-singing German mother may have been Jewish or that the baby himself is Jewish.

Whether either of these is true, where are all of these adoptable Jewish heritage babies so I can have one? Mamah might finally forgive me for refusing to procreate and insisting on future adoption.
