Adopted

We all would like to believe that life has been kind to celebrities who can get whatever they desire easily. So, everything seems to come easy for celebrities. However, the wish to be a mom or a dad is a great leveller. For several Hollywood couples, parenthood was once a distant dream. Therefore, for many couples, the road to parenthood necessitated making a conscious decision to adopt a kid for creating ‘forever families’.

We need to remember that stars are no less humane than us. So, they would love to enjoy the pleasures of parenthood. Often they need to opt for adoption and that surely is a difficult and emotional affair and it involves a tremendous amount of waiting for a letter or a call that could be taking years, with an announcement that a kid has been matched to the couple. This would follow after the couple had passed countless background checks and finished heaps of paperwork.  However, when they see their kid smiling brightly, they feel that it was very much worth the effort.
