Comments on: Actress Katherine Heigl To Adopt Baby With Special Needs http://www.disabilityscoop.com/2009/09/11/katherine-heigl/4911/ Developmental Disability News Sun, 14 Mar 2010 23:23:44 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: physicalissues http://www.disabilityscoop.com/2009/09/11/katherine-heigl/4911/comment-page-1/#comment-594 physicalissues Mon, 14 Sep 2009 00:59:12 +0000 http://www.disabilityscoop.com/?p=4911#comment-594 This is nice and all, and a great opportunity for the child. But, what about all the children in the United States that need a home and parents that will care for them? Why do these Hollywood types keep going overseas to adopt? When I see these stories announcing a new adoption I think it is just a stunt to increase that person's popularity in that country or with a certain group here in our country. I am not against them doing this, as I said what a great opportunity for that precious child, but maybe they should try here at home first. Maybe they did. Maybe the bureaucratic of our system made it to hard or expensive for them to do. Maybe it is not those in Hollywood, maybe it is our adoption system here.
