I think I may have said something that might have seemed offensive to some people last night. Waah! I'm sorry! X_x

We were talking about 2 "questionable" brothers, and I commented that "their parents were unfortunate.." It might be misconstrued, I honestly didn't mean it offensively. But this morning, the whole scenario suddenly came back to me, reminding me a bit of that dinner table talk Sarah Jessica Parker had in the movie "Family Stone", you know, the one where she had to leave the house after and everything.

I only said it cause I've been reading about Brad and Angelina (latest issue of reader's digest) and about how Brad really wanted a biological child. And then, there's Will and Grace. Every time I catch it on TV lately, for some strange reason, I end up watching the same story arc about how Will wanted to have a kid with Grace (3 times I've seen the same episode, consecutively too. Tsk tsk). Hence my subconscious thought was that maybe a lot of people face the same problem. But Levs is right, adopting is always a good option, in fact, after reading more about Brad and Angelina, I'm starting to think that more people should adopt. The ratio of kids needing adoption to couples who want to adopt are so skewed. :(

Which reminds me, I saw an article in the PD Inquirer that Filipino orphans are now open and available for adoption to foreign couples. The article concentrated on a sickly child who now had better hope of good medication and support, but then, this reminded me of an episode of Law&Order, where a little baby was adopted from Russia, but was abandoned in the US after the adopting parents learned that she was sick. She died very soon after, even though she could have lived had she been properly cared for. I remember a striking phrase said in court by the doctor who issued her health certificate for adoption, about how the adopting parents wanted to adopt a "perfect child" and that such a thing isn't possible, cause God doesn't makes perfect people, etc. I really pitied the child who died. But anyway, at least good people like Brad and Angelina are helping to raise awareness about such things. I honestly think that those two are helping to make the world a better place. :)

The issues, the issues... But anyway, if anyone was offended, I'm really sorry. :(
