good cause, from what I hear it is really hard to adopt a child in America, and much easier to adopt kids from overseas.

It really upsets me when all these celebrities adopt children from other countries before adopting children in the US. Lets take care of our own first!

Dave Thomas does not allow gay couples to adopt. Do your research properly, Perez, instead of using these charities post to make yourself look better.

That's not true.

Only a third of Americans believe that same-sex parents raising an adoptive child definitely can provide a healthy environment.
In fact, virtually every valid study has concluded that children of gays and lesbians adjust positively and their families function well with their children’s outcomes comparable to those of heterosexuals.2

Re: Good –
"From what I hear it is really hard to adopt a child in America, and much easier to adopt kids from overseas."

Not at all true. Family's do need to go through home studies and licensing processes to make sure they are appropriate to adopt the child, but it's not a particularly difficult process, especially compared to navigate everything involved in international adoption. Also, in general if you adopt from the Foster Care system their are very minimal costs, typically just court fees.

Re: dave – "Dave Thomas does not allow gay couples to adopt."

First, Dave Thomas himself is dead. Second, the Dave Thomas Foundation provides adoption information and promotion, but isn't an adoption agency, so the can't "allow" or "disallow" anyone to adopt.

And no, I don't work for them.

Oh, so is this is PR spin to cover the fact that he used to be involved w/ the Promise Keepers and their sexist views about women? There was some mystery years back about his daughter — she made a complaint about some family member abusing he, then dave got a hold of her and she recanted and apparently became a submissive zombie. boycott wendy's!

If Blacks & Mexicans quit having babies that they can't take care of, we wouldn't have so many up for adoption. What's best for the child is they get sent back to where they came from.

Domestic adoption is something that more people need to learn about - I saw a few comments that it is more difficult to adopt dometically and that just simply is not true.

Also, there are some major advantages to adopting dometically- such as the support (groups, classes, etc) that are available through most adoption agencies and in the state of texas- all adopted children's college education is paid for by the state.

I could not agree more that Gay and Lesbian couples should be able to provide homes for children in need, and I feel like we are working towards that (not fast enough, I know.) by making G/L marriage legal.

Also DAVID- there are PLENTY of white people (I am white) that have un-wanted children. Please dont turn this into a race issue. It is not best to send a child back to an environment where they are not wanted. Idiot.

I work as a volunteer for CASA ( Court Appointed Special Advocates) which is a wonderful association dedicated to helping children going through the court system. Another worthy cause to donate to with the same intentions.

To bad more of our "celebrities" don't care about adopting American children.
.
Maybe they don't need rescuing from hunger and a dirty village, but our parentless kids still need love and a home. And, isn't that really the point in adopting a child?
It's not something I myself can do. I'm struggling to raise two on my own as it is. But I would if I could. I love kids.

This organization is totally anti-abortion, pro life and using adoption as a smokescreen for their true agenda. And they also don't let gays adopt. Perez, you should not be endorsing them.

To: #35 & 36 - I decided to read the comments because I KNEW there would be a comment about the model's race!!! HELLO - the ad is not only for the kid being shown - it's for all of the kids in the organization!!! Until PEOPLE FROM YOUR CULTURAL BACKGROUND stop talking about the next, the world will be a mess!!! Shame on you! Don't you have anything better to talk about other than black folks? You don't seem very educated. Read your comment again and see just how uneducated you come across - MORON!!! You must be miserable if all you can do is talk about race instead of the issue at hand. #36 - you're a moron as well and are probably not educated either.
