That's a foolish way to think. You can't assume a child would have a better up bringing just because they have a parent who is famous. All you have to do is turn on the news to see that. As I said before, she needs to worry about getting off probation and demonstrating that she can be responsible before anyone gives her a child. What would happen to that child if she violated the terms of her probation and had to do jail time? I can't say for sure, but I imagine there are many non-celebrity individuals and families that would provide loving, stable homes for children who need them. I think it's unfortunate how much attention the media gives to the celebrities who adopt a new child every year. There are many regular people who provide foster care and adopt children who are in need of families to love them, and not just because it's the current trend. These are the people we should recognize and give credit to.
