OK, I'm reading here that Katherine Heigl, who has adopted a child from Korea and whom I blogged about here, "and husband Josh Kelley unveiled [the COMPLETELY adorable!] Naleigh on their charity Web site."
I click on the website -- "Heigl's Hounds of Hope." I'm getting a bad feeling about this . . . .
And sure enough, under more COMPLETELY adorable pictures is this:

I don't like "here's our new child, give us some money for our foundation." It feels like an advertisement.
Very, very unfortunate. Pet-lovers would argue that taking in a new animal is like adding a family member. But I think any time "adoption" is used to pull the heartstrings for money--be it for a foundation or nonprofit--it's bad news. Just get out that checkbook, and an adorable creature will be yours. Sigh. Of course, people call me sensitive, too.
Funny you should bring this up.
I read this exact article last night and thought the same thing.
Kept shaking my head in disbelief, actually.
I can't stop looking at the baby and I know I shouldn't. The baby is tooooo cute, like they picked out an especially cute one for the movie stars. (Yes, I looked at the other pictures.) Seriously, a Canadian movie star got a boy once before it was even possible to adopt a boy because the Chinese gov't thought it was a big compliment.
