Comments on: DeMarcus Ware opens up about stillbirth, adoption http://celebrity-babies.com/2008/06/15/demarcus-ware-i/ Celebrating the lifestyle of Hollywood's newest moms and littlest stars.

They did not set out to adopt, and were still grieving over their lost babies when their pastor, who runs a home for troubled young women, contacted them about one of his girls who was 8 months along and wanted an adopted family who were unable to have children for her baby. The pastor immediately thought of the Wares, since they were in his own congregation. I doubt the couple would have cared if she was black, white, red, yellow, purple, chartreuse, or polkadotted. The fact is, Marley is the baby that God placed in their path and in their arms. Arguing that a baby should not be loved simply because they are of a somehow perceived more "marketable" race of adoptable children shows complete ignorance.

I didn't go through the things they went through before adopting. I stopped at the thought of fertility drugs. The miracle of adoption is like no other. The moment you get your hands on the child, it feels as if that child has been a part of you your whole life. My husband is the biggest Dallas Cowboy fan and he brought this story to me. God Bless to the Ware family. They are so blessed to have Marley in their lives. And to Mrs. Ware, I'll bet the moment you saw her, the Mommy inside you came out of nowhere. Not even knowing you have it inside...it just comes and you just know exactly what to do. </p> </div>

This story is just wonderful. We adopted a baby girl 6 months ago.

When people say “why did he adopt a white child when there are so many black kids out there who need homes”, it shows a lack of understanding about domestic adoption.

If one wants to adopt a newborn, the best chance you have domestically is not through the foster care system. That is where all these “kids who need homes” are, I would assume. These days, a birthmother CHOOSES the adoptive parents she wants to parent her baby. Should a couple desperate to have a child say “No, we can’t – she’s white”?

All the best to the lovely family.
