Vivica A. Fox Announces Adoption Plans
Kill Bill star Vivica A. Fox is considering adoption because she never wants a child to remind her of a romance gone wrong. The actress, who briefly dated 50 Cent after splitting from husband Christopher Harvest, admits no man has ever convinced her that having a child naturally is worthwhile.

Fox says, "I haven't met anybody that I want to be reminded of. You gotta think about that for 18 years because, more than likely, you, as a woman, you're gonna be stuck raising the kids. Knowing me, I'd have a baby by somebody I can't stand and he'd (baby) look just like him (boyfriend). It'd be like, 'Damn, here you come again today...' You don't want to take it out on the child."

So the 43-year-old actress is now considering adopting a baby and becoming a single mom. She adds, "I've gotten a little old to be walking around pregnant (but) I'd make a wonderful mom. I'm good with kids. I love kids. It's just that (pregnancy) hasn't happened in my life."

What a terrible reason to adopt a child. Also, girl is looking pretty busted these days. Even for 43.

I don't see it but maybe that might explain the attraction for me??

I guess my question is why, in her mind, having a baby has to be necessarily associated with a no-good, two-timin', fly-by-night man who gets her pregs and then splits.

She's never considered the 'old-fashioned' route of meeting someone, and getting (heaven forbid) married first? And then having a baby?

She's divorced. I think it's great she wants to adopt. Some lucky child will grow up in a famous household.

Tell that to the Crawford children. Oh, and the Barrymores, the Hemingways, and the Spears children as well. Just sayin...

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.
