It concerns me that with celebrities like Madonna and Brangelina adopting from abroad others will soon follow the trend, forgetting about the children in our country who are also in desperate need of a family. The long-term effects of abroad adoption also worries me, e.g. African children will at some point begin to question why they look so different to their (unnatural) brothers and sisters.
I must stress that while I do believe couples that adopt are extremely kind and generous, I consider the children in this country to be as important as those from other countries and that they are also in need of a family. More media attention needs to be on UK orphans!
