Here’s what Ms. CB said to me when we were watching this story last night: “Why is it a four-year approval process to adopt a baby from Ethiopian? Like, can they really afford to be picky?”
Concur.
There’s no way demand is outpacing supply here. Plus, Cole and Heidi will bring in more than $200 million in their lifetimes (probably well north of that)– what Ethiopian adoption broker had the gall to put them on a waiting list? That’s great, Mr. Famous Millionaire, and we’ll be sure to add it to your file. But there are other concerns for this starving child who was abandoned in the AIDS riddled country. What kind of toys will you give her? Will she get her own room? Will you get her a dog? She wants a dog. What about a gazelle? Will you allow her to put sugar in her cereal? Will she be breast fed?
Anyway, good for Cole, Heidi and baby Reeve. That kid just hit the jackpot (quite literally), and so will the next Ethiopian the Pitts Hamels say they plan on adopting.
Now seems like a good time to remember this quote from Heidi, in 2009:
"We're in the process of adopting an AIDS orphan from Ethiopia. Maybe two. I'm so pumped. I'd adopt six if I could. When I was five years old-I grew up in a very rural town in Missouri, and I had never even seen a black person-they asked us to draw a picture of ourselves in the future, and I drew myself holding hands with a line of tiny black stick figures. I've always wanted this."

I’ll never understand the celebrity trend of adopting African children, but good for the kid, seriously. Now there’s one less starving kid in the world, so good for the Hamels family.
He literally hit the jackpot? Interesting. He honestly doesn’t appear to be of age to play any games of chance which would result in one literally winning the jackpot.
Serious Allegations. Most disturbing is the “housing for women to get pregnant and use the infants for the orphan adoption program”
is that like a baby farm ?

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit
more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all.
Nevertheless just imagine if you added some great graphics or videos to give your
posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images
and clips, this site could undeniably be one of the most
beneficial in its niche. Superb blog!
Thanks for every other magnificent post. The
place else could anyone get that kind of information in such an ideal manner
of writing? I’ve a presentation next week, and I am on the search for
such info.
These are those who in my opinion are the
best. Then later after the full time has elapsed, you go back and collect them.
Additionally, you will find also unseen juicy couture iPhone 4 cases,
which can’t be seen at all.
Appropriately, the clear answer is that they can need to attend
somewhat longer. It shows just how many items you’ve

the $130 or the regular payment.
However, this might be considered a little informal for a wedding.
However, the wide range of prints and patterns that
maxi dresses are now available in also means that women of all personalities are able to find one to suit them.
If your melee stats aren’t particularly impressive, you might be left ashore.
