Finally, a celebrity adoptive mom who says something that is right on spot!

I love love love what Meg has said about adopting her sweet little girl – that she just wanted a baby.

Those of us (for the majority, I will not speak for everyone) who engage on the journey to adopt to grow our families do not do it to martyr ourselves and rescue a child… we are selfish, we want a child to love, end of story. God Bless You, Meg for taking the words out of my mouth!

Ha ha I agree with her on the single mom comment. While my husband is not a bad person there are days when I look at my single-mom friends and think it must be nice not to consult anyone when making decisions.

Especially the times when you disagree about how to handle something and you both feel just as passionately about your children.

I’m not saying being a single mom is easy in any way, but that part seems appealing when my hubby and I are at odds.

When I was a headstrong teenage girl arguing with my mom I once said ‘I didn’t choose my family, but I chose my friends.’

It was always the case that I wanted to be with my friends and not at family events. I realise now that I was being a brat, but her response has stayed with me and will forever.

She said ‘We don’t get to choose our children either.’ It was the first time I thought wow she loves me unconditionally but she doesn’t necessarily like or agree with me all of the time.

I like the random selection adoption idea. Because with biological children you get who you get and it doesn’t matter one bit. If your heart wants to be a mother and love a child I doubt you’d be too picky and choosy.

i like meg ryan a lot and i love to see her pictures she is also a great actress .

I absolutely love her comment

“I never felt like I was on a rescue mission or anything like that. I just really wanted a baby; I was on a mission to connect with somebody”.

Such a rare (and humble) perspective on International adoption in the celebrity world nowadays.

I agree that kids come into the world as who they are. Also, they are not always who you want them to be. My three are so different from each other, yet they get along (for the most part.} I was always a real girly girl – dresses and dolls, but my 8 year old couldn’t be more independent, athletic or hate dolls more. I’m thrilled because she does things easily physically that I could never do!
