Why waste time and money on legal adoption when there are about a billion Chinese kids that nobody wants? She could go over there and just take a few.

Believe it or not, the Chinese government does have some very strict adoption rules, etc.

Adoption of children from China to the United States began in 1992 when the Chinese government passed a law ratifying international adoption. In 2006 Americans adopted 6,493 children from China, the largest number of any country. China adoption is noteworthy for its orderly adoption process?all aspects of Chinese adoption (including costs and the referral process) are regulated by the China Center for Adoption Affairs (CCAA) in Beijing. There is no independent adoption from China; American adopters work through a U.S. adoption agency approved by the CCAA.

Which may be true if you want to adopt a child that is a recognized citizen of China. But since population laws dictate that a family is only permitted to have two children, couples who want boys but have girls, or vice versa, or give birth to a child with a birth defect, or even accidentally have a third (or fourth, or fifth ...) child, quite literally throw the kids away. There are millions upon millions of children who "don't exist" according to the Chinese government, that wind up in poorly funded orphanages.

People who have tried to adopt these children, the ones that need adopting because the orphanages can't even feed, clothe, or shelter them, find it may take two years or more just to get the Chinese government to issue the equivalent of a US SSN, which is required before any actual, recognized adoption process can begin. Even then, the odds are very slim that the child ever arrives on US soil.

A friend of mine cousin adopted a Chinese boy about 15 years ago. They are from Tennessee and talk with a very southern accent-guess what he picked up the slang. I went to his graduation and it was hilarious to see this
Chinese young man talking like a redneck. He drives a pickup truck and chews Skoal. Loves to fish and hunt with his dad. It is way to cool.

The ultimate test is to see how these kids turn out. I also am eager to see how Rosie O'Donnel's 'cutie patooties' turn out too. That is - if she doesn't eat them first.
